Can I replicate new tables using the ACTIVE STANDBY PAIR replication scheme

Question

Hi,
I have created myself a simple setup using an active/standby pair with a single subscriber like so:
CREATE ACTIVE STANDBY PAIR cie ON "tt-test1", cie ON "tt-test2" RETURN RECEIPT SUBSCRIBER cie on "tt-test3";
I have then added some tables on the master, they did not replicate automatically. I find this:
Command> repschemes;
Replication Scheme Active Standby:
Master Store: CIE on TT-TEST1
Master Store: CIE on TT-TEST2
Master Return Service: Return Receipt
Subscriber Store: CIE on TT-TEST3
Excluded Tables:
ROOT.EXTRACTOR_
ROOT.PROMPT_
ROOT.PREFERABLE_
Included Tables:
List too long (59 items), use verbosity 4 to display
<snip>
My question is ... how do I include these tables in replication?
Do I need to trash and clone the secondary master store and the subscriber again? Even doing that won't add the tables to the replication scheme so I don't think that is a solution.
I couldn't find much documentation on the ALTER REPLICATION statement but from what I could find it requires me to know the 'name' of the replication scheme and the examples in the documentation didn't work when I used 'Active Standby' as the scheme name in the statement.
Am I being retarded here? Is this a limitation of using the ACTIVE STANDBY PAIR replication model?
Thanks in advance.

When you setup and rollout the ACTIVE/STANDBY pair (or indeed legacy replication) it only includes tables that already exist. The normal deployment process is:
1. Create the first datastore (the one which will initially be the 'active').
2. Create (and populate) all necessary tables.
3. Create the active/standby pair replication scheme.
4. Start the repagent
5. Make the datastore active by calling ttRepStateSet('ACTIVE')
6. Use ttRepAdmin -duplicate to create the standby store from the active
7. Start repagent at standby
8. Use ttRepAdmin -duplicate to create the subscriber store from the standby
7. Start repagent at subscriber
If you need to add/remove tables later you must do the following:
At active node:
1. Create any new tables (and populate them) as needed
2. Stop repagent
3. Execute ALTER ACTIVE STANDBY PAIR with INCLUDE and/or EXCLUDE clauses as required
4. Start repagent
Then you need to redeploy the other stores:
At standby:
5. Stop repagent
6. Drop datastore (ttDestroy)
7. Re-create datastore from active using ttRepAdmin -duplicate
8. Start repagent
At subscriber:
9. Stop repagent
10. Drop datastore (ttDestroy)
11. Re-create datastore from standby using ttRepAdmin -duplicate
12. Start repagent
This is documented in the TimesTen Replication Guide in the section on administering an active/standby pair.
