<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_channel()</code> method returns a
DB_CHANNEL handle. This is used to create and manage custom
message traffic between the sites in the replication group.
</p>
<p>
This method allocates memory for the handle, returning a pointer to
the structure in the memory to which
<span class="bold"><strong>channelp</strong></span> refers. To release the
allocated memory and discard the handle, call the
<a class="xref" href="dbchannel_close.html" title="DB_CHANNEL-&gt;close()">DB_CHANNEL-&gt;close()</a>
method.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_channel()</code> method may be
called at any time after
<a class="xref" href="repmgrstart.html" title="DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_start()">DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_start()</a> has
been called with a <code class="literal">0</code> return code.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_channel()</code> <span>
<span>
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.

This parameter must be set to one of the following:

<p>
Messages sent on this channel are sent only to the
master site. Note that messages are always sent to
the current master, even if the master has changed
since the channel was opened. If the current
master is disconnected or unknown, the operation
fails and repmgr returns an error code.
</p>
<p>
If the local site is the master, then sending
messages on this channel will result in the local
site receiving those messages echoed back to
itself.
