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:
#RAO 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.

Note: 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.
