The list of database utilities that can be run on replication enabled database has not be changed. However, we do put some improvement in 11.7. For example, builddb used to break replication, but now it won't. We understand there are still quite a few other utilities that should be improved, for example, idxbuild, truncate bi etc. And they are on our to-do list. The failover transition is also more reliable and powerful than previous releases. With the concept of "replication set" introduced in 11.7, If the maintenance is for operations like patching the OS, then replication will not be interrupted, and a single point of failure can also be avoided. The "replication set" involves one source and two targets, and they will be transitioned together. So even if the source is lost, there will still be one (new) source and one target (of the new source) left after transition. This can buy us more time to reseed the second target and reduce the window down to single point of failure. Dapeng
