What you need to know

LTM for MVS RS_source_ds configuration parameter

The value of the LTM for MVS RS_source_ds configuration parameter identifies a unique name for the MVS system that contains the primary data source.

Make sure that the MVS system name you supply in the create connection command matches the value you specified for the RS_source_ds parameter in the LTM for MVS configuration file.

LTM for MVS RS_source_db configuration parameter

The value of the LTM for MVS RS_source_db configuration parameter identifies a unique instance of the Log Transfer Manager (LTM) you are running. It is the name of the logical data source that contains the primary data to be replicated.

Make sure that the database name you supply in the create connection command matches the value you specified for the RS_source_db parameter in the LTM for MVS configuration file.

Replication Server maintenance_user_ID

The maintenance user ID is the Replication Server user specified in the create connection command when creating a connection to Replication Server.

If you plan to replicate into DB2, to prevent cyclic replication, the maintenance_user_ID should not be identical to the value of the RS_user parameter, which was recorded in section 7c of the Replication Agent Installation Worksheet during installation.

Replication Server maintenance_password

The value of the maintenance_password identifies the password for the Replication Server maintenance_user_ID.

This password can be 30 characters or less.

dsi_suspended

This option to the create connection command starts the connection with the DSI thread suspended. The DSI thread is an outbound queue connection to the target or replicate database.

Sybase strongly recommends that you use this option with Replication Agent.
