The system replication border can be now changed using

ALTER SYSTEM SET REPLICATION_BORDER = ....

A database restart is no longer required.

Changed behavior

Changing the replication border for existing systems can't be done using the command-line parameter anymore. A database will not start anymore if the command line parameter -soft_replicationborder_in_numrows is set. Instead the sql interface 'ALTER SYSTEM SET REPLICATION_BORDER' should be used.
