The applier will read information from the Extractor and write database changes into the target instance.
To configure the Applier replicator for either local or remote MySQL or for Amazon RDS/Aurora, the process is the same, but with a slightly different configuration, this is outlined below:
Unpack the Tungsten Replicator distribution in staging directory:
shell> tar zxf tungsten-replicator-7.1.3-3.tar.gzChange into the staging directory:
shell> cd tungsten-replicator-7.1.3-3Use the appropriate template config for your target
If you plan to make full use of the REST API (which is enabled by default) you will need to also configure a username and password for API access. This must be done by specifying the following options in your configuration:
rest-api-admin-user=tungsten rest-api-admin-pass=secret
Once the prerequisites and configuring of the installation has been completed, the software can be installed:
shell> ./tools/tpm install
If the installation process fails, check the output of the
/tmp/tungsten-configure.log file
for more information about the root cause.
The replicators can now be started using the replicator command.
The status of the replicator can be checked and monitored by using the trepctl command.
Configure the installation using tpm:
shell>./tools/tpm configure defaults \ --reset \ --install-directory=/opt/continuent \ --user=tungsten \ --mysql-allow-intensive-checks=true \ --profile-script=~/.bash_profile \ --rest-api-admin-user=apiuser \ --rest-api-admin-pass=secretshell>./tools/tpm configure alpha \ --master=sourcehost \ --members=localhost,sourcehost \ --datasource-type=mysql \ --replication-user=tungsten \ --replication-password=secret \ --replication-host=remotedbhost

Database type
For databases that required authentication, the username to use when connecting to the database using the corresponding connection method (native, JDBC, etc.).
The password to be used when connecting to the database using
the corresponding
--replication-user.
--replication-host=remotedbhost
Hostname of the datasource where the database is located. If the specified hostname matches the current host or member name, the database is assumed to be local. If the hostnames do not match, extraction is assumed to be via remote access. For MySQL hosts, this configures a remote replication Replica (relay) connection.
replication-host should only be added to
the above configuration if the target MySQL Database is on a different
host to the applier installation

--skip-validation-check=InstallerMasterSlaveCheck
skip-validation-check=InstallerMasterSlaveCheck
The --skip-validation-check
disables a given validation check. If any validation check
fails, the installation, validation or configuration will
automatically stop.
Using this option enables you to bypass the specified check, although skipping a check may lead to an invalid or non-working configuration.
You can identify a given check if an error or warning has been raised during configuration. For example, the default table type check:
... ERROR >> centos >> The datasource root@centos:3306 (WITH PASSWORD) » uses MyISAM as the default storage engine (MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck) ...
The check in this case is
MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck,
and could be ignored using
--skip-validation-check=MySQLDefaultTableTypeCheck.
Setting both
--skip-validation-check and
--enable-validation-check is
equivalent to explicitly disabling the specified check.
--skip-validation-check=MySQLPermissionsCheck
