Transferring mastership of a type object
When you create a type object, it is mastered by the replica
where you create it. You can change the mastership of the type object
using the chmaster command.
About this task
Except for elements, instances of an unshared type can be created only at the master replica. Elements can be created at any replica, regardless of which replica masters the element type. Instances of shared types can be created at any replica if the replica masters the target object. (For more information, see Type object mastership; there are additional restrictions if the type is a global type.)
Note: If
you change mastership of a branch type to another replica, mastership
is not changed for explicitly mastered branches of that type, even
if the same replica masters the branch type and the branch. Mastership
is changed for branches of that type with default mastership. To change
explicitly mastered branches to have default mastership, see Removing explicit mastership of a branch.
