Fair enough but the command snippet I posted was taken directly from your earlier post dated Mon Jul 27 23:11:06 EEST 2020 and it does say “production1”…I just double-checked as well...
FWIW…the server order in the command you just pasted is the exact reverse from the Jul 27th post I mentioned above… Here you appear to be exec’ing the command on prod2 and trying to pull from the remote of prod 1…your earlier post was exec’ing on prod1 and pulling from the remote of prod2… > On Jul 27, 2020, at 3:10 PM, Kishore Potnuru <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I am executing the command from the new server.
