This method is the other half of setting the <a href="../api_c/rep_config.html#DB_REP_CONF_DELAYCLIENT">DB_REP_CONF_DELAYCLIENT</a> flag via the <a href="../api_c/rep_config.html">DB_ENV->rep_set_config</a> method.</p> <p>If an application has configured delayed master synchronization, the application must synchronize explicitly (otherwise the client will remain out-of-date and will ignore all database changes forwarded from the replication group master). The DB_ENV->rep_sync method may be called any time after the client application learns that the new master has been established (by receiving a <a href="../api_c/env_event_notify.html#DB_EVENT_REP_NEWMASTER">DB_EVENT_REP_NEWMASTER</a> event notification).</p> <p>The DB_ENV->rep_sync method may not be called before the <a href="../api_c/env_open.html">DB_ENV->open</a> method is called.</p> <p>The DB_ENV->rep_sync method returns a non-zero error value on failure and 0 on success. </p> <b>Parameters</b> <br> <b>flags</b><ul compact><li>The <b>flags</b> parameter is currently unused, and must be set to 0.</ul> <br> <hr size=1 noshade> <br><b>Class</b> <a href="../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> <br><b>See Also</b> <a href="../api_c/rep_list.html">Replication and Related Methods</a> </tt> <table width="100%"><tr><td><br></td><td align=right> <a href="../api_c/api_core.html"><img src="../images/api.gif" alt="API"></a><a href="../ref/toc.html"><img src="../images/ref.gif" alt="Ref"></a> </td></tr></table> <p><font size=1>Copyright (c) 1996,2008 Oracle.
