UpdateGenNum synchronization profile option

When creating a download file, this option creates a file that can be used with remote databases that have not yet synchronize. Otherwise, you must perform a synchronization before you apply a download file.

Syntax

bg={ON|OFF}

UpdateGenNum={ON|OFF}

Remarks

This option causes the download file to update the generation numbers on the remote database.

Download files built with this option should be snapshot downloads. Timestamp-based downloads do not work with remote databases that have not synchronized because the last download timestamp on a new remote database is by default January 1, 1900, which is earlier than the last download timestamp in the download file. For timestamp-based file-based downloads to work, the last download timestamp in the download file must be the same or earlier than on the remote.

Do not apply UpdateGenNum download files to remote databases that have already synchronized if your system depends on functionality provided by generation numbers as this option circumvents that functionality.
