This ordering is a factor in determining which environment will be selected as a new master in case the existing master fails.</p> <p>Priorities must be a non-negative integer, but do not need to be unique throughout the replication group. A priority of 0 means the system can never become a master, regardless. Otherwise, larger valued priorities indicate a more desirable master. For example, if a replication group consists of three database environments, two of which are connected by an OC3 and the third of which is connected by a T1, the third database environment should be assigned a priority value which is lower than either of the other two.</p> <p>Desirability of the master is first determined by the client having the most recent log records. Ties in log records are broken with the client priority. If both sites have the same number of log records and the same priority, one is selected at random.</p> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right><a href="../rep/id.html"><img src="../../images/prev.gif" alt="Prev"></a><a href="../toc.html"><img src="../../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a><a href="../rep/app.html"><img src="../../images/next.gif" alt="Next"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1><a href="../../sleepycat/legal.html">Copyright (c) 1996-2003</a> <a href="http://www.sleepycat.com">Sleepycat Software, Inc.</a> - All rights reserved.</font> </body> </html>
