Point-in-Time Snapshots

You can obtain a point-in-time snapshot of the primary database by causing the tracking process on the RPS node to be paused at a specific time. To facilitate synchronizing this specific time with the primary database, call the JadeDatabaseAdmin class sdsAuditStopTracking method, which causes a Stop Tracking marker to be audited when it is invoked on the primary.

The stop tracking point does not have to coincide with a database quiet point (that is, one at which there are no active transactions).

When tracking is paused on the RPS node, incomplete transactions are not reflected in the target database.
