====== Decommissioning Server Replication ======

===== DB Config File =====

On the server that your master Framework Server is installed, navigate in Windows File Explorer to the TapeTrack Installation folder (default = C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack Framework Server\var\db) and open the file ''DB_CONFIG'' with a text editor such as Notepad.

===== Edit Config File =====

Scroll to the bottom of the config file until you see the replication code section

<code>
rep_set_priority 1
repmgr_site replicant-1.tapetrack.com 5010 
repmgr_site master.tapetrack.com 5010 db_local_site on db_group_creator on
</code>

Add a hash tag to the start of the lines of code to convert them to comments so they will be skipped when TapeTrack loads the config file.

<code>
#rep_set_priority 1
#repmgr_site replicant-1.tapetrack.com 5010 
#repmgr_site master.tapetrack.com 5010 db_local_site on db_group_creator on
</code>

<note>Depending on your system setup you may need to add write permissions to allow your user-ID to save the config file. </note>

Save the file, ensuring that it saves as ''DB_CONFIG.cfg'' and not .txt



===== Stop The Server =====

Follow instructions at [[server:start_stop|Stop the Server]].

The embedded database used by TapeTrack uses transactional protection. This means that as updates are applied to the underlying database, they are first written to a log file.

If you plan to not make use of replication again disabling the replication subsystem will allow the database to automatically remove any log files that are no longer active and save on disk space. This can be accomplished easily by using the Framework Server Helper (recommended method) or by direct registry edit (advanced method).

Instructions for disabling the replication subsystem can be viewed at [[technote:disable_replication|Disable Replication]]
