To Start/Suspend/Resume/Abort a Replication Pair:

• In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Pair, and select Start, Start Full Resync, Suspend, Resume, or Abort.

  Note

  From the Replication Pair level, you cannot Suspend a Replication Pair that is in the Replicating state; instead, do this from the Replication Set level. See, Suspend Data Replication Activity from the Replication Set for step-by-step instructions.

Suspend Data Replication Activity from the Replication Set

Before You Begin

• Review Monitoring Data Replication

Required Permission: Permissions and Permitted Actions

To suspend all data replication activity from the Replication Set level:

1. In the CommCell Browser, right-click a Replication Set in the source machine, and select All Tasks, then select Suspend Data Transfer.
