Completing Section 3: Replication Agent Parameter Values for SAP Replication Server

Determine the values of the Replication Agent configuration parameters for the primary SAP Replication Server, and record them in Section 3 of the worksheet. 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.

Identify the name of the primary Replication Server host machine.

Record the SAP Replication Server host machine name as item 3a (rs_host_name) in Section 3: Replication Agent Parameter Values for SAP Replication Server on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
Identify the port number of the client socket port for SAP Replication Server.

This is the port number Replication Agent uses to log in to SAP 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 SAP Replication Server on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
Identify the user name and password Replication Agent uses to log in to SAP Replication Server client.

This client user ID must have connect source permission in SAP Replication Server. 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 the system administrator for the correct user ID and password for the primary Replication Server.

Record the SAP 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 SAP Replication Server on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
Identify the SAP Replication Server character set.
Note: Perform this step only if you are using a 15.0 or an earlier version. For the 15.0.1 or later version of SAP Replication Server, Replication Agent automatically queries the Replication Server property RS_charset.
The RS_charset property identifies the SAP Replication Server character set and is defined in the SAP Replication Server configuration file. The configuration file is located at:
```
$SYBASE/RSfolder/install/rssrvname.cfg 
```
where:
- $SYBASE is the installation directory of the SAP Replication Server software.
- RSfolder is the SAP Replication Server folder. For example, REP-15_0.
- rssrvrname is the name of the SAP Replication Server instance.
Record the SAP Replication Server character set as item 3e (rs_charset) in Section 3: Replication Agent Parameter Values for SAP Replication Server on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
