Typically the central part of any replication application
|
|||
|
|
is some sort of a continuous loop that constantly
|
|||
|
|
checks the state of the environment (whether it is a
|
|||
|
|
replica or a master), opens and/or closes the
|
|||
|
|
databases as is necessary, and performs other useful
|
|||
|
|
work. A loop such as this one must of necessity
|
|||
|
|
take special care to know whether it is operating
|
|||
|
|
on a master or a replica environment because all of its
|
|||
|
|
activities are dependent upon that state.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
The flow of activities through the loop will
|
|||
|
|
generally be as follows:
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<div class="orderedlist">
|
|||
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Check whether the environment has
|
|||
|
|
changed state. If it has, you
|
|||
|
|
might want to reopen your
|
|||
|
|
database handles, especially if
|
|||
|
|
you opened your replica's
|
|||
|
|
database handles as read-only.
|
|||
|
|
In this case, you might need to
|
|||
|
|
reopen them as read-write.
|
|||
|
|
However, if you always open your
|
|||
|
|
database handles as read-write,
|
|||
|
|
then it is not automatically necessary to
|
|||
|
|
reopen the databases due to a
|
|||
|
|
state change. Instead, you
|
|||
|
|
could check for a
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<span>
|
|||
|
|
<code class="classname">ReplicationHandleDeadException</code>
|
|||
|
|
exception
|
|||
|
|
</span>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
when you use your
|
|||
|
|
database handle(s). If you see
|
|||
|
|
this, then you need to reopen
|
|||
|
|
your database handle(s).
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
If the databases are closed,
|
|||
|
|
create new database handles,
|
|||
|
|
configure the handle as is
|
|||
|
|
appropriate, and then open the
|
|||
|
|
databases. Note that handle
|
|||
|
|
configuration will be different,
|
|||
|
|
depending on whether the handle
|
|||
|
|
is opened as a replica or a
|
|||
|
|
master. At a minimum, the master
|
|||
|
|
should be opened with database
|
|||
|
|
creation privileges, whereas the
|
|||
|
|
replica does not need to be. You
|
|||
|
|
must also open the master such
|
|||
|
|
that its databases are
|
|||
|
|
read-write. You
|
|||
|
|
<span class="emphasis"><em>can</em></span> open
|
|||
|
|
replicas with read-only
|
|||
|
|
databases, so long as you are
|
|||
|
|
prepared to close and then reopen
|
|||
|
|
the handle in the event the
|
|||
|
|
client becomes a master.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Also, note that if the local
|
|||
|
|
environment
|
|||
|
|
is a replica, then it is possible
|
|||
|
|
that databases do not currently
|
|||
|
|
exist. In this case, the database
|
|||
|
|
open attempts will fail. Your
|
|||
|
|
code will have to take this
|
|||
|
|
corner case into account
|
|||
|
|
(described below).
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Once the databases are opened,
|
|||
|
|
check to see if the local
|
|||
|
|
environment is a
|
|||
|
|
master. If it is, do whatever it is
|
|||
|
|
a master should do for your
|
|||
|
|
application.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
Remember that the code for your
|
|||
|
|
master should include some way
|
|||
|
|
for you to tell the master
|
|||
|
|
to exit gracefully.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>
|
|||
|
|
<p>
|
|||
|
|
If the local environment is not a
|
|||
|
|
master, then do whatever it is
|
|||
|
|
your replica environments should do.
|
|||
|
|
Again, like the code for your
|
|||
|
|
master environments, you should provide
|
|||
|
|
a way for your replicas to exit
|
|||
|
|
the processing loop gracefully.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
</li>
|
|||
|
|
