You need the following information to add the RepConnector connection entry to the Replication Server interfaces file. Either record this information on the worksheet provided in as you go through the procedure, or complete the worksheet first, then use it in the procedure.
Server name – the name of the data server. This name should be unique and case-sensitive. Use the value recorded on line 3.a of the worksheet.
This is also the RepConnector connection’s DSI name, which you will need later when you configure the RepConnector connection in Chapter 5.
For simplicity, Sybase recommends that you use a name
that clearly identifies this connection as allowing Replication
Server to communicate with RepConnector, and which distinguishes
it from either a traditional connection between Replication Server
or a data server and its corresponding database.
Protocol – the network protocol for the
DSI connection. Use the value recorded on on line 3.b of the worksheet
in Appendix A, “Configuration Worksheets.” For
example, on Windows, use RepConnector.
You can use either the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or the NLWNSCK protocol on Windows, and either TCP or the Transport Layer Interface (TLI) TCP protocol on UNIX.
For example, on Windows, use TCP.
Host name – the machine name where the RepConnector connection will be running. Use the value recorded on on line 3.c of the worksheet.
For example, on Windows use localhost.
Port Number – the number of the port on which the RepConnector connection will be listening. This must be an unused port number on the host machine. Use the value recorded on line 3.d of the worksheet.
For example, on Windows, use 7000.
