Configuration Parameters

Configuration parameters record the user-configurable settings that control how a Replication Agent instance operates. The current values of all configuration parameters are stored in the configuration file of each Replication Agent instance.

• Replication Agent configuration file
  The configuration file is created automatically when you create a Replication Agent instance. Each time a Replication Agent instance starts up, it reads the configuration file to get the configuration information needed to run.
• Changing configuration parameters
  To view, set, or change the current value of a Replication Agent configuration parameter, use the ra_config command.
• Copying a Replication Agent configuration
  When you create a new Replication Agent instance with the ra_admin utility, you can specify the new instance to use the same configuration parameter values as an existing Replication Agent instance.
