rasd_backup_dir

(Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server only) The directory path for Replication Agent System Database (RASD) backup files.

Note: This parameter is available only for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

Default

The path to the RASD backup directory created automatically when the Replication Agent instance was created. For example:
  • On Microsoft Windows platforms:
    %SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\inst_name\repository\backup
    where:

    • %SYBASE% is the path to the Replication Agent installation directory.

    • inst_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance.

  • On UNIX platforms:
    $SYBASE/RAX-15_5/inst_name/repository/backup
    where:

    • $SYBASE is the path to the Replication Agent installation directory.

    • inst_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance.

Value

A valid path on the Replication Agent host machine.

Comments

  • When you create a 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, 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.
