Pausing the replication to a Secondary

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
In Management Server console, you can pause the replication to a Secondary. The new and the already queued updates on the Primary are prevented from reaching the Secondary. This operation pauses communication between the Primary and the Secondary. The user should monitor the SRL overflow while performing this operation.
This operation can be launched from the context of databases or hosts.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
