<p>
When a replica is in the process of synchronizing with its master, all DB
operations are blocked until such a time as the synchronization is completed.
For replicas with a heavy read load, these blocked operations may represent an
unacceptable loss in throughput.
</p>
<p>
You can configure DB so that it will not block when synchronization is in
process. Instead, the DB operation will fail,
<span>
immediately returning a <tt class="literal">DB_REP_LOCKOUT</tt> error.
</span>
When this happens, it is up to your application to your application to determine
what action to take (that is, logging the event, making an appropriate user
response, retrying the operation, and so forth).
</p>
<p>
To turn off blocking on synchronization, specify
<span>
<tt class="literal">DB_REP_CONF_NOWAIT</tt> to
<tt class="methodname">DB_ENV->rep_set_config()</tt>
and then specify <tt class="literal">1</tt> to the <tt class="literal">onoff</tt>
parameter. (Specify <tt class="literal">0</tt> to turn the feature off.)
