Determine the Replication Agent administration information, and record it in Section 1 of the worksheet.
oracle – Oracle Database Server. Replication Agent for Oracle must be installed on the same type of UNIX or Microsoft Windows host as the primary Oracle instance and from which it can directly access the primary Oracle redo and archive logs.
mssql – Microsoft SQL Server. Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server must be installed on a Microsoft Windows host from which it can directly access the primary Microsoft SQL Server transaction logs.
ibmudb – IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB). Replication Agent for UDB must be installed on the same UNIX or Microsoft Windows host as the DB2 UDB server or the DB2 Administration Client.
Record the instance type as item 1a in Section 1: Replication Agent Administration Information on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
Record the name of the instance as item 1b in Section 1: Replication Agent Administration Information on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
If you are not the system administrator for the system on which you are installing the Replication Agent instance, ask the system administrator which port number you should use for the Replication Agent administration port. Port numbers have a range of 1 to 65,535.
Record the port number as item 1c (admin_port) in Section 1: Replication Agent Administration Information on the Installation and Setup Worksheet. Replication Agent for Oracle and Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server each require two port numbers. The additional one is for the RASD. By default, Replication Agent assigns the RASD port—admin port +1. This number must also be unique on the Replication Agent host machine.
Use this item only if you plan to use the isql or jisql utility or Replication Manager (RM) to administer the Replication Agent instance. The interfaces file must reside on the same machine as the Replication Agent client (isql or Replication Manager), not necessarily on the Replication Agent host machine.
Record the interfaces file location as item 1d in Section 1: Replication Agent Administration Information on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
See the Replication Agent Administration Guide.
Record the administrative user ID as item 1e (admin_user) and the password as item 1f (admin_pw) in Section 1: Replication Agent Administration Information on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
