Section 3: Replication Agent parameter values for Replication Server

Item

Description

Example value

Your value

3a

rs_host_name

This is the name or IP address of the Replication Server host machine.

rs_host

3b

rs_port_number

This is the port number Replication Agent uses to log in to Replication Server. Check with your System Administrator to determine which port numbers are available.

1111

3c

rs_username

This is the Replication Server client user ID that Replication Agent uses to log in to the primary Replication Server.

This user ID must have connect source authority in the Replication Server.

NoteThe value for the rs_username parameter cannot be the same as the value for the pdb_maint_user parameter (item 2c).

rauser

3d

rs_password

This is the Replication Server client user password that Replication Agent uses.

rapwd

3e

rs_charset

This is the character set that Replication Agent uses when creating LTL commands for Replication Server. It must match the Replication Servers character set, defined by the RS_charset property in the Replication Server configuration file ($SYBASE/REP-15_2/install/rssrvname.cfg).

NoteSetting this property to anything other than the character set of the primary Replication Server causes it to incorrectly perform character set conversion of the LTL commands it receives from Replication Agent. Only if this value is different from the RA_JAVA_DFLT_CHARSET value (which should match the primary databases character set) will Replication Agent perform character set conversion on the character data being replicated. Character set conversion slows performance.
