We are about to introduce AI for the first time.
We have a production server (P) and a backup server (B) that is used for nothing at all except to be ready to take-over if needed.
Scripts are been written to switch to the next AI extent on P for each of five DBs every (say) one hour ... then rcp them to B server ... and apply them to the five DBs.
Our wish is to keep the servers on P “up” all the time. B will have servers “down” all the time ... unless that system has to take over.
At 18:00 each day we intend stopping applying AIs to the B databases - and then backing-up the whole of system B.
After the backup, will Progress allow further AIs to be applied? Presumably the AI extents from P will continue getting higher extent numbers - where on B (presumably) Progress will expect AI extents to start at 1 again.
How do we co-ordinate the databases on P and B so that the AI files can be applied to B after a backup?
