Kim Haase commented on DERBY-3637:
----------------------------------
Still valid, I believe, though the description of the problem makes it hard to
figure out exactly what needs to be said that would not confuse users too much.
See http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.11/ref/rrefattribslavehost.html for the
current topic.
I can't tell if the steps in "Starting and running replication" in the Admin
Guide also need to be clarified.
> Docs for attribute slaveHost should say what the attribute means when used
> with startSlave=true

> Key: DERBY-3637
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3637
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation, Replication
> Affects Versions: 10.4.1.3
> Reporter: John H. Embretsen
> Priority: Minor
>
> The documentation for the replication feature describes the new JDBC
> connection attribute "slaveHost" this way:
> "Specifies the system that will serve as the slave for database replication."
> [1]
> This is true (if system == network host) when used on the master side in a
> replication scenario.
> However, when used on the slave side in conjunction with the
> "startSlave=true" attribute, the slaveHost attribute specifies the network
> interface on which Derby (the slave database) will listen for connections
> from the master. This is not clear from the description of the attribute in
> the reference guide, which also says
> "It may be specified in conjunction with the startSlave=true attribute; if it
> is not, the default value is localhost."
> If the slave is started on a host that is separate from the master host, then
> the slave must listen on an interface that is reachable from the master, e.g
> "slaveHost=0.0.0.0" (all network interfaces, IPv4). This is analogous to the
> Network Server's -h option and the derby.drda.host property, and should be
> clarified in the documentation.
