SET DISSIMILARPOLICIES (Enable the policies on the target replication server to manage replicated data)

Use the SET DISSIMILARPOLICIES command to enable the policies that are defined on the target replication server to manage replicated client-node data. If you do not use the policies on the target replication server, replicated client-node data is managed by policies on the source replication server.

Ensure that Tivoli® Storage Manager, Version 7.1.1 or later, is installed on the source and target replication servers before you issue this command. Issue this command on the source replication server.

Before you use the policies that are defined on a target replication server, you must issue the VALIDATE REPLPOLICY command for that target replication server. This command displays the differences between the policies for the client nodes on the source replication server and policies on the target replication server. You can modify the policies on the target replication server before you enable these policies to manage replicated client-node data.

To obtain the name of the target replication server for which you want to manage data and to check whether the policies on the target replication server are set to ON, use the QUERY REPLSERVER command. At installation, the value is set to OFF.

Privilege class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege.

Parameters

target_server_name (Required)
Specifies the name of the target replication server for which you want to enable the policies.
ON
Specifies that replicated client-node data is managed by the policies that are defined on the target replication server.
OFf
Specifies that replicated client-node data is managed by the policies that are defined on the source replication server. Off is the default value.

Example: Use the policies on a target replication server

To managed replicated client-node data from the target replication server, CVTCVS_LXS_SRV2, issue the following command on the source replication server:
set dissimilarpolicies CVTCVS_LXS_SRV2 on
