Question Manipulating Replicated DB's BI files

[Chris Hughes]

Hi all

I think I know the answer but thought I'd run in by the experts first

Although this isn't my exact scenario it serves the purpose of my question....

I have database "A" which resides on server "X" and is replicated using OE to server "Y".

I want to truncate the BI on the database "A" server "X" and change the block size and cluster size. For the time being I do not want to make a fresh copy of the DB to server "Y". My understanding is that I can do this and replication etc continues as usual because the BI's are not directly linked?

And yes I would look to put a newly restored database "A" onto server "Y" as soon as I could (probably in a longer period of down time with some other maintenance).

Thanks

Chris
