Enable WAL Archive in Replication server

Hi,

I want to enable WAL archive on the replica, I am advised that WAL =
archive can only be enabled on the Master, can you please advise if this =
is a bug and any workaround available?

regards





now you can only enable WAL archive on the Master server,it will not =
take effect on replication server.

I can't find the doc which explicit prohibit WAL archive on the =
replication server,and there are WAL generated in the slave pg_xlog dir =
with archive_status subdir,so I think this may be a bug.=20
