A Relay Server configuration file is used to define both a Relay Server farm and the back-end server farms connecting to the Relay Server farm. The Relay Server configuration file is divided into following sections:

• Relay Server section
• Backend farm section
• Backend server section
• Options section

Each section starts with a section tag. A section tag is formed by enclosing a keyword that identifies the section name in square brackets. For example, [relay_server] denotes the start of the Relay Server section.

The section tag is followed by several lines defining various properties related to the section being defined. A property is defined by specifying the property name on the left side of an equal sign and its value on the right side of the equal sign. For example, property name = value. All section and property names are case insensitive. Comments are marked with pound sign (#) character at the beginning of a line.

The configuration file should contain only 7-bit ASCII characters. The sections can be specified in any order.

Relay Server configuration files can be created, imported and deployed using the Relay Server plug-in for Sybase Central.
