Complete the Replication Server Installation Worksheet

Use the worksheet to record configuration information you need during the Replication Server installation.

The rs_init program is used to configure Replication Server software. The sections in the Replication Server Installation Worksheet correspond to the rs_init menus, so you can enter information from the worksheet directly into rs_init.

rs_init supplies default values for most of the items in the Replication Server installation worksheet and Database setup worksheet. Many of the defaults are constructed from values that you enter. For example, if you enter “TOKYO_RS” for the Replication Server name, rs_init names the log file TOKYO_RS.log. You can accept the displayed value or enter a different value.
