To create a Replication Agent instance at any time after the Replication Agent software is installed, invoke ra_admin with the -c option or use the Administrator GUI utility. See “Using the Administrator GUI utility”.
The complete syntax is:
ra_admin -c new_inst -p port_num {-t database|-f old_inst}
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. For Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server, be sure that a second port, port_num+1, is available for the RASD.
database is the type of data server that contains the primary database.
old_inst is the name of an existing Replication Agent instance whose configuration you want to duplicate for the new Replication Agent instance.
For information about creating a Replication Agent instance based on the configuration of an existing instance, see “Copying a Replication Agent configuration”.
