Determine and record the values of the Replication Agent configuration parameters for the primary Replication Server. These values are used with the Replication Agent ra_config command when you configure the Replication Agent instance.
For more information about using the ra_config command for the initial configuration of the Replication Agent parameters, see the Replication Agent Administration Guide.
Completing Section 3 of the Installation and Setup
worksheet
Identify the name of the primary Replication Server host machine.
Record the Replication Server host machine name as item 3a (rs_host_name) in Section 3: Replication Agent parameter values for Replication Server on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
Identify the port number of the client socket port for Replication Server.
This is the port number Replication Agent uses to log in to Replication Server.
All port numbers have a range of 1 to 65,535.
Record the port number as item 3b (rs_port_number) in Section 3: Replication Agent parameter values for Replication Server on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
Identify the user name and password Replication Agent uses to log in to Replication Server.
This Replication Server client user ID must have connect source permission in Replication Server. For more information about granting connect source permissions, see the Replication Server Reference Manual.
If you are not the System Administrator for the system on which you are installing the Replication Agent instance, ask your System Administrator for the correct user ID and password for the primary Replication Server.
Record the Replication Server client user ID as item 3c (rs_username) and the password as item 3d (rs_password) in Section 3: Replication Agent parameter values for Replication Server on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
Identify the Replication Server character set.
Perform this step only if you are using Replication
Server 15.0 or earlier. For Replication Server 15.0.1 or later,
Replication Agent directly queries the Replication Server property RS_charset.
The RS_charset property identifies the Replication Server character set and is defined in the Replication Server configuration file. The configuration file is located at:
$SYBASE/RSfolder/install/rssrvname.cfg
where:
$SYBASE is the installation directory of the Replication Server software.
RSfolder is the Replication Server folder. For example, REP-15_0.
rssrvrname is the name of the Replication Server instance.
Record the Replication Server character set as item 3e (rs_charset) in Section 3: Replication Agent parameter values for Replication Server on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
