Editing a Resource File

The ra_admin resource file is an ASCII text file that you can edit using any standard text editor.

• Make sure that configuration parameters for both the Replication Agent and ra_admin use this format:

  param=value

  where:

  • param is the name of the configuration parameter.

  • value is the value of the configuration parameter.

  Note: Spaces are not allowed before or after the = symbol, or within the value string.
• Make sure that each param=value statement occurs on a separate line.
• If a default value exists for a configuration parameter, use:

  param=USE_DEFAULT

  where param is the name of the configuration parameter.

• Make sure that these ra_admin configuration parameters have a value of yes or no:

  • create_pds_username

  • start_instance

  • initialize_instance

  The yes value is case-insensitive. Any string other than {y|Y}{e|E}{s|S} is interpreted as no.

  Note: Blank lines and lines that begin with the # symbol are ignored in the resource file.
