This configuration is available for Oracle only.
The directory path for Replication Agent System Database (RASD) backup files.
The rasd_backup_dir parameter is used only by the Replication Agent for Oracle. Replication Agent for DB2 UDB, and Microsoft SQL Server do not use the rasd_backup_dir parameter.
The path to the RASD backup directory created automatically when the Sybase Replication Agent instance was created. For example:
On Microsoft Windows platforms:
%SYBASE%\RAX-15_0\inst_name\repository\backup
where:
%SYBASE% is the path to the Sybase Replication Agent installation directory.
inst_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance.
On UNIX platforms:
$SYBASE/RAX-15_0/inst_name/repository/backup
where:
$SYBASE is the path to the Sybase Replication Agent installation directory.
inst_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance.
A valid path on the Replication Agent host machine.
When you create a Sybase Replication Agent instance, an RASD backup directory is created automatically as part of the instance directory structure. The default value of the rasd_backup_dir parameter points to that directory.
If you specify any valid path as the value of the rasd_backup_dir parameter, Sybase Replication Agent places its RASD backup files in that directory during RASD backup operations, and it looks in that directory for the RASD backup files during restore operations.
