</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>
We now use the methods described above to add partial
support to the
<span>ex_rep_gsg_simple</span>
example that we presented in
<a class="xref" href="txnapp.html" title="Chapter 2. Transactional Application">Transactional Application</a>.
That is, in this section we will:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
Enhance our command line options to accept information
of interest to a replicated application.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Configure our environment handle to use replication and
the Replication Manager.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Minimally configure the Replication Manager.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Start replication.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
Note that when we are done with this section, we will be
only partially ready to run the application. Some critical
pieces will be missing; specifically, we will not yet be
handling the differences between a master and a
replica. (We do that in the next chapter).
</p>
<p>
Also, note that in the following code fragments, additions
and changes to the code are marked in <strong class="userinput"><code>bold</code></strong>.
</p>
<p>
To begin, we copy the
<span>ex_rep_gsg_simple</span>
code to a new file called
<code class="literal">ex_rep_gsg_repmgr.c</code>.
<span>
We then make the corresponding change to the program name.
</span>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">/*
<strong class="userinput"><code>* File: ex_rep_gsg_repmgr.c</code></strong>
*/
#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;string.h&gt;
#ifndef _WIN32
#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
#endif
#include &lt;db.h&gt;
#ifdef _WIN32
extern int getopt(int, char * const *, const char *);
#endif
#define CACHESIZE (10 * 1024 * 1024)
#define DATABASE "quote.db"
const char *progname = <strong class="userinput"><code>"ex_rep_gsg_repmgr";</code></strong>
int create_env(const char *, DB_ENV **);
int env_init(DB_ENV *, const char *);
int doloop (DB_ENV *);
int print_stocks(DBC *); </pre>
<p>
Next we update our usage function. The application will continue to
accept the <code class="literal">-h</code> parameter so that we can identify
the environment home directory used by this application. However,
we also add the:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">-l</code> parameter which allows us to identify the
host and port used by this application to listen for
replication messages. This parameter is required unless the -L
parameter is specified.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">-L</code> parameter, which allows us to identify
the local site as the group creator.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">-r</code> parameter which allows us to specify
other replicas.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code class="literal">-p</code> option, which is used to identify this
replica's priority (recall that the priority is used as a tie
breaker for elections)
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<pre class="programlisting">/* Usage function */
static void
usage()
{
fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s ", progname);
fprintf(stderr, "-h home <strong class="userinput"><code>-l|-L host:port</code></strong>\n");
<strong class="userinput"><code>fprintf(stderr, "\t\t[-r host:port][-p priority]\n");
fprintf(stderr, "where:\n");
fprintf(stderr, "\t-h identifies the environment home directory ");
fprintf(stderr, "(required).\n");
fprintf(stderr, "\t-l identifies the host and port used by this ");
fprintf(stderr, "site (required, unless -L is specified).\n");
fprintf(stderr, "\t-L identifies the host and port used by this ");
fprintf(stderr, "site, which is the group creator.\n");
fprintf(stderr, "\t-r identifies another site participating in ");
fprintf(stderr, "this replication group\n");
fprintf(stderr, "\t-p identifies the election priority used by ");
fprintf(stderr, "this replica.\n");</code></strong>
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
} </pre>
<p>
Now we can begin working on our <code class="literal">main()</code> function.
We begin by adding a couple of variables that we will use to
collect TCP/IP host and port information.
<span>
We also declare a couple
of flags that we use to make sure some required information is
provided to this application.
</span>
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
DB_ENV *dbenv;
<strong class="userinput"><code>DB_SITE *dbsite;</code></strong>
extern char *optarg;
const char *home;
char ch, <strong class="userinput"><code>*host, *portstr</code></strong>;
int ret, <strong class="userinput"><code>local_is_set, is_group_creator</code></strong>;
<strong class="userinput"><code>u_int32_t port</code></strong>;
dbenv = NULL;
ret = <strong class="userinput"><code>local_is_set = is_group_creator = </code></strong>0;
home = NULL; </pre>
<p>
At this time we can create our environment handle and configure it
exactly as we did for <code class="literal">simple_txn</code>.
The only thing that we will do differently here is that we will set a priority,
arbitrarily picked to be 100, so that we can be sure the environment has
a priority other than 0 (the default value). This ensures that the
environment can become a master via an election.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> if ((ret = create_env(progname, &amp;dbenv)) != 0)
goto err;
/* Default priority is 100 */
<strong class="userinput"><code>dbenv-&gt;rep_set_priority(dbenv, 100);</code></strong> </pre>
<p>
Now we collect our command line arguments. As we do so, we will
configure host and port information as required, and we will
configure the application's election priority if necessary.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> /* Collect the command line options */
while ((ch = getopt(argc, argv, "h:<strong class="userinput"><code>l:L:p:r:</code></strong>")) != EOF)
switch (ch) {
case 'h':
home = optarg;
break;
<strong class="userinput"><code>/* Set the host and port used by this environment */
case 'l':
host = strtok(optarg, ":");
if ((portstr = strtok(NULL, ":")) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Bad host specification.\n");
goto err;
}
port = (unsigned short)atoi(portstr);
if ((ret = dbenv-&gt;repmgr_site(dbenv, host, port, &amp;dbsite
0)) != 0 ) {
fprintf(stderr,
"Could not set local address %s.\n", host);
goto err;
}
dbsite-&gt;set_config(dbsite, DB_LOCAL_SITE, 1);
if (is_group_creator)
dbsite-&gt;set_config(dbsite, DB_GROUP_CREATOR, 1);
if ((ret = dbsite-&gt;close(dbsite)) != 0) {
dbenv-&gt;(dbenv, ret, "DB_SITE-&gt;close");
goto err;
}
local_is_set = 1;
break;
/* Set this replica's election priority */
case 'p':
dbenv-&gt;rep_set_priority(dbenv, atoi(optarg));
break;
/* Identify another site in the replication group */
case 'r':
host = strtok(optarg, ":");
if ((portstr = strtok(NULL, ":")) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Bad host specification.\n");
goto err;
}
port = (unsigned short)atoi(portstr);
if ((dbenv-&gt;repmgr_site(dbenv, host, port, &amp;dbsite,
0)) != 0) {
fprintf(stderr,
"Could not add site %s.\n", host);
goto err;
}
dbenv-&gt;set_config(dbsite, DB_BOOTSTRAP_HELPER, 1);
if ((dbenv-&gt;close(dbsite)) != 0) {
dbenv-&gt;err(dbenv, ret, "DB_SITE-&gt;close");
goto err;
}
break;</code></strong>
case '?':
default:
usage();
}
/* Error check command line. */
if (home == NULL <strong class="userinput"><code>|| !local_is_set</code></strong>)
usage(); </pre>
<p>
Having done that, we can call <code class="function">env_init()</code>,
which we use to open our environment handle. Note that this
function changes slightly for this update (see below).
</p>
<pre class="programlisting"> if ((ret = env_init(dbenv, home)) != 0)
goto err; </pre>
<p>
Finally, we start replication before we go into the
<code class="function">doloop()</code> function (where we perform all our
database access).
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<strong class="userinput"><code>if ((ret = dbenv-&gt;repmgr_start(dbenv, 3, DB_REP_ELECTION)) != 0)
goto err; </code></strong>
if ((ret = doloop(dbenv)) != 0) {
dbenv-&gt;err(dbenv, ret, "Application failed");
goto err;
}
err: if (dbenv != NULL)
(void)dbenv-&gt;close(dbenv, 0);
return (ret);
} </pre>
<p>
<span>Beyond that, the rest of our application remains the same for
now, with the exception of the <code class="function">env_init()</code>
function, which we use to actually open our environment handle.
The flags </span>
we use to open the environment are slightly different for a
replicated application than they are for a non-replicated
application. Namely, replication requires the
<span>
<code class="literal">DB_INIT_REP</code> flag.
</span>
</p>
<p>
Also, because we are using the Replication Manager, we must prepare
our environment for threaded usage. For this reason, we also
need the <code class="literal">DB_THREAD</code> flag.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">int
env_init(DB_ENV *dbenv, const char *home)
{
u_int32_t flags;
int ret;
(void)dbenv-&gt;set_cachesize(dbenv, 0, CACHESIZE, 0);
(void)dbenv-&gt;set_flags(dbenv, DB_TXN_NOSYNC, 1);
flags = DB_CREATE |
DB_INIT_LOCK |
DB_INIT_LOG |
DB_INIT_MPOOL |
<strong class="userinput"><code>DB_INIT_REP |</code></strong>
DB_INIT_TXN |
DB_RECOVER <strong class="userinput"><code>|
DB_THREAD;</code></strong>
if ((ret = dbenv-&gt;open(dbenv, home, flags, 0)) != 0)
dbenv-&gt;err(dbenv, ret, "can't open environment");
return (ret);
}</pre>
<p>
This completes our replication updates for the moment. We are not as
yet ready to actually run this program; there remains a few
critical pieces left to add to it. However, the work that we
performed in this section represents a solid foundation for the
remainder of our replication work.
