save translation

Last Updated : Apr 05, 2018 |

Use save translation to commit the active server translations (volatile) in memory to a file (non-volatile). It either completes or fails. For Linux platforms, the translation file is copied to the standby server by a filesync process.

Note:

save translation can take up to 5 minutes to complete. Do not press ENTER key on the keyboard during this time, or result messages will be lost.

For Duplex server pair servers, the translation file is copied to the standby server by a filesync process. On Survivable Core Server, save translation changes only on the main server pair.

Syntax

save translation [ all | ess | lsp ]
all

Save translations to all Survivable Core Server, Survivable Remote Server, and the main server pair.

ess

From the Server, send changed translations to the active server and to the standby for Duplex server pair servers, and to the Survivable Core Server by a filesync process.

lsp

From the Server, send changed translations to the active server and to the standby for Duplex server pair servers, and to the Survivable Remote Server by a filesync process.

All translation data is kept in volatile system memory or on the hard drive during normal operation. In the event of a power outage or certain system failures, data in memory is lost. save translation stores on disk the translation data currently in memory.

When a SAT user issues save translation on a duplicated system, translations are saved on both the active and standby servers. If an update of the standby server is already in progress, subsequent save translation commands fail with the message:

save translations has a command conflict.

save translation will not run and an error message is displayed when:

  • translation data is being changed by an administration command

  • translations are locked by use of the Communication Manager web interface Pre-Upgrade Step.

Run save translation as part of scheduled background maintenance or on demand. See change system-parameters maintenance for more information.
