8.6.1 Disabling or Enabling a Channel
Disabling a channel pauses the replication and
enabling
a channel resumes the replication.
Note:
If the source server contains existing data, it is necessary to copy over this data
to the target server before enabling the channel and starting replication for the
first time. For more information, see
Choosing a Method for Data Snapshots and
Importing Data.
