Creating a Replication Agent Instance

Create a Replication Agent instance after the Replication Agent software is installed.

At any time after the Replication Agent software is installed, use the Administrator GUI utility, or invoke ra_admin with the -c option:

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.
