    DbEnv::set_rep_transport(int envid,
        int (*send)(DB_ENV *dbenv,
        const Dbt *control, const Dbt *rec, const DbLsn *lsnp,
        int envid, u_int32_t flags));

### Description: DbEnv::set_rep_transport

The DbEnv::set_rep_transport method initializes the communication infrastructure for a database environment participating in a replicated application.

The DbEnv::set_rep_transport method configures operations performed using the specified DbEnv handle, not all operations performed on the underlying database environment.

The DbEnv::set_rep_transport method may be called at any time during the life of the application.

The DbEnv::set_rep_transport 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.

### Parameters

envid
  The envid parameter is the local environment's ID. It must be a positive integer and uniquely identify this Berkeley DB database environment (see Replication environment IDs for more information).

send
  The send callback function is used to transmit data using the replication application's communication infrastructure. The parameters to send are as follows:

  dbenv
    The dbenv parameter is the enclosing database environment handle.

  control
    The control parameter is the first of the two data elements to be transmitted by the send function.

  rec
    The rec parameter is the second of the two data elements to be transmitted by the send function.

  lsnp
    If the type of message to be sent has an LSN associated with it, then the lsnp parameter contains the LSN of the record being sent. This LSN can be used to determine that certain records have been processed successfully by clients.

  envid
    The envid parameter is a positive integer identifier that specifies the replication environment to which the message should be sent (see Replication environment IDs for more information).

    The special identifier DB_EID_BROADCAST indicates that a message should be broadcast to every environment in the replication group. The application may use a true broadcast protocol or may send the message in sequence to each machine with which it is in communication. In both cases, the sending site should not be asked to process the message.

  flags
    The flags parameter must be set to 0 or by bitwise inclusively OR'ing together one or more of the following values:

    DB_REP_NOBUFFER
      The record being sent should be transmitted immediately and not buffered or delayed.

    DB_REP_PERMANENT
      The record being sent is critical for maintaining database integrity (for example, the message includes a transaction commit). The application should take appropriate action to enforce the reliability guarantees it has chosen, such as waiting for acknowledgement from one or more clients.

  It may sometimes be useful to pass application-specific data to the send function; see Environment FAQ for a discussion on how to do this.

  The send function should not call back down into Berkeley DB. The send function must return 0 on success and non-zero on failure. If the send function fails, the message being sent is necessary to maintain database integrity, and the local log is not configured for synchronous flushing, the local log will be flushed; otherwise, any error from the send function will be ignored.

### Errors

The DbEnv::set_rep_transport method may fail and throw DbException, encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors, or return one of the following non-zero errors:

EINVAL
  An invalid flag value or parameter was specified.
