Naming Convention for Replication Definitions

The naming convention for replication definitions is changed to present the replication definition names in a more readable format.

Note: Before you create a new replication definition using rs_create_repdef, make sure that a replication definition with the same name does not already exist in Replication Server.

The naming convention for replication definition is:

ra$<rs_source_ds>_<rs_source_db>_<owner>_<objname>

where:

ra$ is the prefix for all replication definition names.

<rs_source_ds> is the value of the rs_source_ds parameter.

<rs_source_db> is the value of the rs_source_db parameter.

<owner> is the user name of the object owner in primary database.

<objname> is the object name in primary database.

The maximum length of the replication definition name is 255 characters. Replication Agent truncates the name exceeding 255 characters. It also replaces the last n characters of the replication definition name with the object ID in hexadecimal format, where n is the length of the object ID in hexadecimal.

See the Replication Agent 15.7.1 SP100 Reference Manual.
