Copying a Replication Agent Configuration

You can copy a Replication Agent configuration with rao_admin.

When you create a new Replication Agent instance, copy the configuration of an existing instance by invoking rao_admin with the -c option and -f option:

rao_admin -c new_inst -p port_num -f old_inst [-uid ra_username -pwd ra_password]

where:

new_inst is the name of the new Replication Agent instance you are creating.
port_num is the client socket port number for the administration port of the new Replication Agent instance. Ensure that a second port, port_num+1, is available for the RASD.
old_inst is the name of an existing Replication Agent instance whose configuration you want to duplicate for the new Replication Agent instance.
ra_username is the administrator login name you want to use for this Replication Agent instance. If you do not provide this option on the command line, you will be prompted for a value.
ra_password is the password for the administrator login. If you do not provide this option on the command line, you will be prompted for a value.
