<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::rep_start()</code> method configures the database environment as
a client or master in a group of replicated database environments.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::rep_start()</code> method is not called by most replication
applications. It should only be called by Base API applications implementing
their own network transport layer, explicitly holding replication
group elections and handling replication messages outside of the
Replication Manager framework.
</p>
<p>
Replication master environments are the only database environments
where replicated databases may be modified. Replication client
environments are read-only as long as they are clients. Replication
client environments may be upgraded to be replication master
environments in the case that the current master fails or there is no
master present. Replication view environments are always read-only
and can never become master environments. If master leases are in
use, this method cannot be used to appoint a master, and should only
be used to configure a database environment as a master as the result
of an election.
</p>
<p>
The enclosing database environment must already have been opened by
calling the <a class="xref" href="envopen.html" title="DbEnv::open()">
<span>DbEnv::open()</span>
</a> method and must
already have been configured to send replication messages by calling
the <a class="xref" href="reptransport.html" title="DbEnv::rep_set_transport()">
<span>DbEnv::rep_set_transport()</span>
</a>
method. If you are starting a view, you must have called the
<a class="xref" href="repset_view.html" title="DbEnv::rep_set_view()">
<span>DbEnv::rep_set_view()</span>
</a> method
before opening the enclosing database environment.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::rep_start()</code> <span>
<span>
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
