Database Information

The Database Setup Worksheet includes database information that identifies the database you are adding to the replication system.

Field Description
Adaptive Server name (Required) The name of the Adaptive Server where the database resides.
SA user The “sa” login name for the Adaptive Server managing the database.
SA password The password for the SA user login name.
Database name The name of the database.
Will the database be replicated? (Required) Select Yes if the database requires a Replication Agent.
Maintenance user A login name for Replication Server to use when updating replicated data. This user must be granted all permissions necessary to maintain the replicated data. rs_init creates this login, if it does not already exist, and grants the necessary permissions.

See the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1 for more information about login names for replication system components.

Maintenance password The password for the maintenance user.
Is this a physical connection for an existing logical connection? Select Yes if you are adding an active or standby database for a warm standby application, and No if you are not.

See the instructions for setting up warm standby databases in Chapter 3, "Managing Warm Standby Applications” in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2.
