From: Lorry Tar Creator Each database environment included in a replication group must have a
-unique identifier for itself and for the other members of the
-replication group. The identifiers do not need to be global, that is,
-each database environment can assign local identifiers to members of
-the replication group as it encounters them. For example, given three
-sites: A, B and C, site A might assign the identifiers 1 and 2 to sites
-B and C respectively, while site B might assign the identifiers 301 and
-302 to sites A and C respectively. Note that it is not wrong to have
-global identifiers, it is just not a requirement.
- Replication Manager assigns and manages environment IDs on behalf of
- the application.
- It is the responsibility of a Base API application to label each incoming
-replication message passed to DB_ENV->rep_process_message() method with the appropriate
-identifier. Subsequently, Berkeley DB will label outgoing messages to the
-send function with those same identifiers. Negative identifiers are reserved for use by Berkeley DB, and should never be
-assigned to environments by the application. Two of these reserved
-identifiers are intended for application use, as follows:
