This example specifies the capture of operations that are performed on a special table named event_table in the source database. This table exists solely for the purpose of receiving inserts at a predetermined time, for example at 5:00 P.M. every day. When Replicat receives the transaction record for this operation, it stops gracefully to allow operators to start end-of-day processing jobs. By using the insert on the event_table table every day, the operators know that Replicat has applied all committed transactions up to 5:00. IGNORE causes Replicat to ignore the event record itself, because it has no purpose in the target database. LOG INFO causes Replicat to log an informational message about the operation.

TABLE source.event_table, EVENTACTIONS (IGNORE, LOG INFO, STOP);
