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, invoke ra_admin with the -c option:

ra_admin -c new_inst -p port_num {-t database|-f old_inst} [-uid ra_username] [-pwd ra_password]

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. Make 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.
port_num is the client socket port number for the administration port of the new Replication Agent instance. Make sure that a second port, port_num+1, is available for the RASD.
old_inst is the name of an existing Replication Agent instance whose configuration you want to duplicate for the new Replication Agent instance.
ra_username is the Replication Agent administrator user name. If you do not provide this option on the command line, you will be prompted for a value.
ra_password is the Replication Agent administrator password. If you do not provide this option on the command line, you will be prompted for a value.
