We are in the process of configuring Informix 9.31.UC3 Enterprise
Replication to consolidate data to one central server.
I have successfully configured, this is all on lab systems to prove
the concept, a Primary server and a Target server, named g_rep1 and
g_rep2 respectively.
The replicates and participants in this configuration work fine and I
can update data on g_rep1 and view the changed data on g_rep2.

Here are the steps I proceeded with to define these servers, but I
won't bother to put the replicates in this posting. They are basically
the "select * from table" for all the tables in the STORES_DEMO
database.

g_rep1 (Primary)
================
cdr define server -c g_rep1 -A /tmp -R /tmp -I g_rep1

g_rep2 (Target)
===============
cdr define server -A /tmp -R /tmp -I -S g_rep1 g_rep2

Here are the steps I went through to include a second Primary server,
g_rep3, to replicate it's data to g_rep2, the Target.

g_rep2 (Target)
===============
cdr stop -c g_rep2
cdr define server -A /tmp -R /tmp -I -S g_rep3 g_rep2
cdr start server


Results of "cdr list server" on g_rep1, g_rep2 and g_rep3

g_rep1 (Primary)
================
[informix@linuxrep1 informix]$ cdr list server
SERVER ID STATE STATUS QUEUE CONNECTION
CHANGED
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
g_rep1 67 Active Local 0
g_rep2 68 Active Connected 0 Jul 21 11:44:32


g_rep2 (Target)
===============
[informix@linuxrep2 informix]$ cdr list server
SERVER ID STATE STATUS QUEUE CONNECTION

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
g_rep1 67 Active Connected 0 Jul 21 11:44:31
g_rep2 68 Active Local 0
g_rep3 12 Active Connected 0 Jul 21 11:45:40

g_rep3 (Primary)
================
[informix@lab informix]$ cdr list server
SERVER ID STATE STATUS QUEUE CONNECTION
CHANGED
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
g_rep2 68 Quiescent Connected 0 Jul 21 11:45:41
g_rep3 12 Active Local 0

What would take g_rep3's connection to g_rep2 so long to change from
Quiescent to Active? It has been well over an hour since I issued the
commands mentioned above. Have I not done something correctly, or in
the wrong order?

Thank you for all your assistance.
