</pre></h3>
<h1>Description</h1>
<p>The DbEnv.rep_start method configures the database environment as a client
or master in a group of replicated database environments. Replication
master environments are the only database environments where replicated
databases may be modified. Replication client environments are
read-only as long as they are clients. Replication client environments
may be upgraded to be replication master environments in the case that
the current master fails or there is no master present.
<p>The enclosing database environment must already have been opened by
calling the <a href="../api_java/env_open.html">DbEnv.open</a> method and must already have been configured
to send replication messages by calling the <a href="../api_java/rep_transport.html">DbEnv.set_rep_transport</a> method.
<p>The <b>cdata</b> parameter is an opaque data item that is sent over
the communication infrastructure when the client or master comes online
(see <a href="../ref/rep/newsite.html">Connecting to a new site</a> for
more information). If no such information is useful, <b>cdata</b>
should be null.
<p>The <b>flags</b> value must be set to one of the following values:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_REP_CLIENT">Db.DB_REP_CLIENT</a><dd>Configure the environment as a replication client.
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_REP_LOGSONLY">Db.DB_REP_LOGSONLY</a><dd>Configure the environment as a log files-only client.
<p><dt><a name="Db.DB_REP_MASTER">Db.DB_REP_MASTER</a><dd>Configure the environment as a replication master.
</dl>
<p>The DbEnv.rep_start method throws an exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure.
<h1>Errors</h1>
<p>The DbEnv.rep_start method may fail and throw an exception encapsulating a non-zero error for the following conditions:
<p><dl compact>
<p><dt>EINVAL<dd>An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
<p>The environment was not already configured to communicate with a
replication group by a call to <a href="../api_java/rep_transport.html">DbEnv.set_rep_transport</a>.
<p>The environment was not already opened.
</dl>
<p>The DbEnv.rep_start method may fail and throw an exception for errors specified for other Berkeley DB and C library or system methods.
If a catastrophic error has occurred, the DbEnv.rep_start method may fail and throw
a <a href="../api_java/runrec_class.html">DbRunRecoveryException</a>, in which case all subsequent Berkeley DB calls
will fail in the same way.
