create connection using profile

create connection using profile clause uses predefined information to configure the connection between Replication Server and a non-Adaptive Server database, and, if needed, to modify the RSSD and the named data_server.database. To create a connection to Adaptive Server, see create connection.

Syntax

create connection to data_server.database
using profile connection_profile;version
set username [to] user 
[other_create_connection_options]
[display_only]

Parameters

data_server – The data server that holds the database to be added to the replication system.
database – The database to be added to the replication system.
connection_profile – Indicates the connection profile that you want to use to configure a connection, modify the RSSD, and build replicate database objects.
version – Specifies the connection profile version to use.
user – The login name of the Replication Server maintenance user for the database. Replication Server uses this login name to maintain replicated data. You must specify a user name if network-based security is not enabled.
other_create_connection_options – Use the other create connection options to set connection options not specified in the profile, such as setting your password, or to override options specified in the profile, such as specifying a custom function string class to override the function string class provided in Replication Server. For a complete list of the other create connection options, see create connection.
display_only – Use display_only with the using profile clause to display the commands that will be executed and the names of the servers upon which the commands will be executed. See the client and Replication Server logs for the result of using display_only.

Examples

Example 1 – Creates a connection to an Oracle replicate database:

create connection to oracle.instance
using profile rs_ase_to_oracle;standard
set username to ora_maint
set password to ora_maint_pwd

Example 2 – Creates a connection to a Microsoft SQL Server replicate database that is also a primary database. In this example, the command replaces any error class setting provided by the connection profile with the my_msss_error_class error class:
```
create connection to msss_server.msss_db
using profile rs_ase_to_msss;standard
set username to msss_maint
set password to msss_maint_pwd
set error class to my_msss_error_class
with log transfer on
```
Example 3 – Creates a connection to a DB2 replicate database using a specific version of the profile—v9_1. In this example, the command overrides the command batch size provided by the connection profile with a new value—16384:
```
create connection to db2.subsys
using profile rs_ase_to_db2;v9_1
set username to db2_maint
set password to db2_maint_pwd
set dsi_cmd_batch_size to ‘16384’
```

Example 4 – Use the display_only option to show the commands that will be executed if you use a particular profile. The commands and the command output display on your screen and are also written to the Replication Server log:

create connection to oracle.instance
using profile rs_ase_to_oracle;standard
set username to ora_maint
set password to ora_maint_pwd
display_only

go

Display only using Connection Profile rs_ase_to_oracle;standard.

Usage

Connection profiles specify the function-string class and the error class. Connection profiles can also specify other connection options such as whether commands should be batched and what command separator to use. In addition to connection settings, connection profiles can specify class-level translations to install in the RSSD and objects, such as the rs_lastcommit table, to be created in the replicate database.
When you create a connection using a connection profile, the system table services (STS) caches are refreshed so that you do not need to restart Replication Server.
Always specify the set username clause right after the using profile clause.
Use admin show_connection_profiles to list the connection profile name, version, and comments for each profile defined in Replication Server.
You can only use the ase_to_ase profile to create a connection to a replicate Adaptive Server database.
