Deleting the Change Log

Deleting the Change Log
The change log is a record of all modifications on a given replica that the supplier
uses to replay these modifications to replicas on consumer servers (or masters in
the case of multi-master replication). In the event of a supplier server going offline,
it is important to be able to delete the changelog because it no longer holds a true
record of all modifications, and, as a result, should not be used as a basis for
replication. Once you have deleted the changelog, you can initialize your
consumers and begin the replication process afresh. To delete the change log you
can either remove it or move it to a new location.
This section contains the information for the following procedures:
• Removing the Change Log
• Moving the Change Log to a New Location
