Default
0

Description

According to the HCL product documentation:
Specifies whether the Replicator obeys quotas.
0 - Disables the Replicator from obeying quotas.
1 - Enables the Replicator to obey quotas.
The default behavior (0) is intentional: in cluster environments, obeying quotas would mean that replicas of a cluster could be different sizes after a user failover — which should be avoided. That is why replication ignores quotas by default.
With Repl_Obeys_Quotas=1, the Replicator is forced to respect configured database quotas during replication — useful, for example, with hard storage limits, when quota violations should also be prevented for replication.

Example configuration

Repl_Obeys_Quotas=1
With Repl_Obeys_Quotas=1, the Replicator obeys the quotas of the target database. In cluster operation this value should be set only with care — see notes.

Notes & pitfalls

  • In a cluster, replicas may diverge after enabling, if a mate has reached quota and content is rejected.
  • Default 0 corresponds to HCL's documented best practice for cluster setups (keep replicas identical).
  • According to HCL there is no direct GUI equivalent.
