ID Server Information

Lists the ID Server information that you need to complete its corresponding section in the worksheet.

These are the worksheet fields:

Field Description
ID Server name (Required) If the Replication Server you are installing is the ID Server, rs_init assigns an ID Server name identical to this Replication Server name.

If you are installing a new Replication Server in an existing Replication Server domain, enter the name of the Replication Server that is acting as the ID Server.

ID Server user If the Replication Server you are installing is the ID Server, enter the login name that other Replication Servers will use to connect to this ID Server.

If you are installing a new Replication Server to an existing Replication Server domain, copy the ID Server user name from the worksheet you completed when you created the ID Server.

ID Server password If the Replication Server you are installing is the ID Server, enter the password for the ID Server user.

If you are adding a new Replication Server to an existing Replication Server domain, copy the ID Server password from the worksheet you completed when you created the ID Server.

Starting Replication Server ID and Starting Database ID These two configuration parameters allow you to specify separate ranges of Replication Server ID numbers and database ID numbers that an ID Server will assign. Although you are not required to specify ranges, specifying ranges makes it easier to merge replication systems later.
Note: “Starting Replication Server ID” and “Starting Database ID” in the worksheet apply only to the ID Server. If you are not installing the ID Server, skip to “Replication Server System Database Information”.
