Configuration file format

The configuration file is a flat ASCII file that contains configuration information for a single Replication Agent instance.

The first two lines in the configuration file identify the file as a Replication Agent configuration file and record the time that the file was last modified. For example:

#RAX Property File
#Fri Jan 12 07:33:18 MST 2008

Each configuration parameter name appears on a separate line, followed by the equal symbol (=) and the current value of the parameter. For example:

compress_ltl_syntax=true

If the Replication Agent instance is not running, you can view the configuration file to examine the current Replication Agent configuration.

NoteSybase recommends that you do not edit the configuration file, because Replication Agent overwrites the entire configuration file every time the ra_config or ra_set_login command is invoked to change a parameter value.

If the Replication Agent instance is running, use the ra_config command to view the current Replication Agent configuration.
