36
<p>Two of the historic arguments for the <a href="../api_reference/C/repelect.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_elect()</a> method have been moved
37
from the interface to separate methods in order to make them available
38
within the new replication manager framework.</p>
39
<p>The <span class="bold"><strong>priority</strong></span> parameter should now be explicitly set using the
40
<a href="../api_reference/C/reppriority.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_set_priority()</a> method. To upgrade existing replication applications
41
to the Berkeley DB 4.5 <a href="../api_reference/C/repelect.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_elect()</a> interface, it may be simplest to
42
insert a call to <a href="../api_reference/C/reppriority.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_set_priority()</a> immediately before the
43
existing call to <a href="../api_reference/C/repelect.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_elect()</a>. Alternatively, it may make more
44
sense to add a single call to <a href="../api_reference/C/reppriority.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_set_priority()</a> during database
45
environment configuration.</p>
46
<p>The <span class="bold"><strong>timeout</strong></span> parameter should now be explicitly set using the
47
<a href="../api_reference/C/repset_timeout.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_set_timeout()</a> method. To upgrade existing replication applications
48
to the Berkeley DB 4.5 <a href="../api_reference/C/repelect.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_elect()</a> interface, it may be simplest to
49
insert a call to <a href="../api_reference/C/repset_timeout.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_set_timeout()</a> immediately before the existing
50
call to <a href="../api_reference/C/repelect.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_elect()</a>. Alternatively, it may make more sense to add
51
a single call to <a href="../api_reference/C/repset_timeout.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_set_timeout()</a> during database environment
