These commands start replication processes. The significant differences between these commands are:
- Start MIMIX (STRMMX) – The STRMMX command will start all MIMIX processes in a MIMIX installation, including those used for replication, in a single operation regardless of how replication is configured. This is the preferred method of starting MIMIX. Optionally, this command can be used to start replication and supporting processes associated with the local system.
- Start Application Group (STRAG) – The STRAG command will start replication processes for data groups that are part of an application group. This is the preferred method of starting replication in application groups. The command invokes a procedure which performs the operations to start replication for the participating data groups.
- Start Data Group (STRDG) – The STRDG command will start replication processes for a data group and the remote journal link, if necessary. This command is the basis for all other methods of starting replication. Optionally, this command can specify a starting point in the journals, clear any pending or error entries, set object auditing levels, and start a subset of the replication processes.
