3 Partition Management 3.1 Overview This section describes the concepts and operations of RTR’ s partitions. 3.1.1 What is a Partition? Partitions are subdivisions of a routing key range of values. They are used with a partitioned data model and RTR data content routing. Partitions exist for each distinct range of values in the routing key for wh[...]

Partition Management 3.2 Partition Naming 3.2 Partition Naming A prerequisite for partition management is the ability to identify a partition in the system that is to be the subject of management commands. For this purpose, partitions have been given names, which may be drawn from a number of sources described below . 3.2.1 Default Partition Names [...]

Partition Management 3.3 Life Cycle of a Partition 3.3.1 Implicit Partition Creation Partitions are created implicitly when an application program calls rtr_open_channel( ) to create a server channel, specifying the key segments and value ranges for the segments with the pkeyseg argument. Other partition attributes are established with the flags ar[...]

Partition Management 3.5 Entering Partition Commands 3.5 Entering Partition Commands Partitions can be managed by issuing partition commands directed at the required partition after they are created. Partition commands can be entered in one of two ways: • A command line processed by the RTR command line interface, for example RTR> SET PARTITIO[...]

Partition Management 3.5 Entering Partition Commands The rtr_set_info( ) call completes asynchronously . If the function call is successful, completion will be signaled by the delivery of an RTR message of type rtr_mt_closed on the channel whose identifier is returned through the pchannel argument. The programmer should retrieve this message by us[...]

Partition Management 3.6 Managing Partitions 3.6.2 Controlling T ransaction Presentation T ransaction presentation is the process of passing transactions to idle server channels for processing. While transaction presentation is active, new transactions are started on the first free server channel for the appropriate partition. Use the /SUSPEND qua[...]

Partition Management 3.6 Managing Partitions If a partition enters a wait state or fails but has neither a local or remote journal, an operator can instruct RTR to skip the current step in the recovery process with the /IGNORE_RECOVERY qualifier . Since this command bypasses parts of the recovery cycle use it with caution in cases where availabili[...]

Partition Management 3.7 Displaying Partition Information 3.7 Displaying Partition Information Information on the definition and state of a partition is displayed with the SHOW PARTITION command. The information of interest in the context of partition management relates to the backend instance of the partition. For more information see the SHOW P [...]

4 T ransaction Management 4.1 Overview This section describes the concepts of RTR’ s transaction management capability . The RTR transaction is the heart of an RTR application, and transaction state is the property that characterizes a transaction’ s current condition. Whenever a transaction progresses from one stage to another , the transactio[...]

T ransaction Management 4.1 Overview this transaction is removed from memory and can no longer be monitored by the command. The RTR DUMP JOURNAL command can be used to trace and review the flow of a transaction. The RTR journal saves all of the information about a transaction, its transaction journal state, the transaction messages (records) recei[...]

T ransaction Management 4.1 Overview 4.1.2 T ransaction State Changes There are eight valid state changes allowed for the SET TRANSACTION command. Attempting to change transaction state to a state that is not allowed produces an error message of %RTR-E-INVSTATCHANGE, Invalid to change from current state to the specified state . The T able 6–19 ta[...]

T ransaction Management 4.1 Overview This is the case where, for example, a server crashed while performing an SQL commit immediately after receiving a mt_accepted message. The transaction is in COMMIT state as recorded in the RTR journal and the transaction is also committed in the underlying database. After the SET TRANSACTION command is executed[...]

5 RTR Monitoring This chapter contains a description of the RTR monitor . The RTR monitor gives you a means of viewing the activities of RTR and your applications.
