<string of alphanumeric symbols, underscore, and space beginning with an alphabetic symbol> ((1-30))

Specifies the name of the original RDAREA that is to be integrated.

The system treats an RDAREA name enclosed in double quotation marks (") as case sensitive; otherwise, the system treats it as all uppercase letters.

An error results if there is more than one replica RDAREA for the specified original RDAREA.

<string of alphanumeric symbols beginning with an alphabetic symbol> ((1-16))

Specifies the name of the global buffer in the HiRDB system (in the server where RDAREAs are integrated in the case of a HiRDB/Parallel Server) that is to be allocated to the original RDAREA that is to be integrated.

To check the global buffer, use the pdbufls command.

Rules

1. You cannot specify a global buffer for indexes or LOB RDAREAs.
2. If you specified the number of global buffer sectors, the size of the specified global buffer must be greater than the page length of the replica RDAREA. You can use the pdbufls command to check the global buffer.
3. The global buffer allocation specified here is ignored the next time HiRDB starts normally. Therefore, you must change the global buffer allocation in the system common definition at the next HiRDB normal startup.
4. When this operand is omitted, the global buffer for the replica RDAREA existing before RDAREA integration is allocated.
5. If this operand is specified but no global buffer is allocated, the integration of RDAREAs results in an error.

<string of alphanumeric symbols beginning with an alphabetic symbol> ((1-16))

Specifies the name of the LOB global buffer in the HiRDB system (at the server where RDAREAs are to be integrated in the case of a HiRDB/Parallel Server) that is to be allocated to the original RDAREA that is to be integrated.

To check the global buffer, use the pdbufls command.

Rules

1. You cannot specify a global buffer for user RDAREAs or index RDAREAs.
2. The size of the specified global buffer must be greater than the page length of the replica RDAREA. You can use the pdbufls command to check the global buffer.
3. The global buffer allocation specified here is ignored the next time HiRDB starts normally. Therefore, you must change the global buffer allocation in the system common definition at the next HiRDB normal startup.
4. When this operand is omitted, the LOB global buffer allocated before RDAREA integration is allocated. Note that a LOB global buffer is not allocated if no LOB global buffer had been allocated before RDAREA integration.
5. If this operand is specified but no LOB global buffer is allocated, RDAREA integration results in an error.
6. This operand is applicable to integration of LOB RDAREAs. An error results if the operand is specified when user RDAREAs are integrated.
