I have the replication server set up and the streaming is working. The latest data show up, as desired.
3 minor issues. 1) I also have the WAL files being copied to a common location from the primary server with archive_command = 'copy %p "\\\\DISKSTATION\\AccessData\\Prod\\WALfiles\\%f"' It's not clear to me how the replication server finds those files. I also have the cleanup set to go, but it doesn't seem to be cleaning up any of the archived files. archive_cleanup_command = 'pg_archivecleanup \\\\DISKSTATION\\AccessData\\Prod\\WALfiles %r' 2) I have the connection string set for the replication server to connect, primary_conninfo = 'host = 192.168.1.112 port = 5433 user = {pg_rep_user }password = {password}' But the log file shows LOG: waiting for WAL to become available at 2/A10000B8 FATAL: could not connect to the primary server: connection to server at "{IP}", port 5433 failed: fe_sendauth: no password supplied 3) When I run "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\bin\pg_ctl.exe" promote -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\15\data" on the backup to promote it to Primary, I get pg_ctl: could not send promote signal (PID: 3996): Operation not permitted Thanks for all the help so far, Brad.
