DBT *request, u_int32_t nrequest,
u_int32_t cb_flags),
u_int32_t flags);
Sets the message dispatch function. This function is responsible for receiving messages sent from remote sites using either the DB_CHANNEL->send_msg() or DB_CHANNEL->send_request() methods. If the message received by this function was sent using the DB_CHANNEL->send_msg() method then no response is required. If the message was sent using the DB_CHANNEL->send_request() method, then this function must send a response using the DB_CHANNEL->send_msg() method.
For best results, the
DB_ENV->repmgr_msg_dispatch() method should
be called before the Replication Manager has been started.
The DB_ENV->repmgr_msg_dispatch()
method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success.
This parameter is the application-specific function used to handle messages sent over Replication Manager message channels. It takes four parameters:
channel
Provides the DB_CHANNEL to be used to send a response back to the originator of the message. If the message was sent by the remote site using DB_CHANNEL->send_request() then this function should send a response back to the originator using the channel provided on this parameter. The message should be sent by calling DB_CHANNEL->send_msg() exactly once.
This channel is valid only during the current
invocation of the dispatch function; it is
destroyed when the dispatch function returns. The
application may not save a copy of the pointer and
use it later elsewhere. Methods that do not make
sense in the context of a message dispatch
function (such as
DB_CHANNEL->send_request()
and
DB_CHANNEL->close())
will be rejected with EINVAL.
request
Array of DBTs containing the message received from the remote site.
nrequest
Specifies the number of elements in the
request array.
cb_flags
This flag is
DB_REPMGR_NEED_RESPONSE if the
message requires a response. Otherwise, it is
0.
This function does not return a value. If the function encounters an error, you can reflect the error back to the originator of the message by formatting an error message of your own design into the response.
The DB_ENV->repmgr_msg_dispatch()
method may fail and return one of the following non-zero errors:
