The interfaces file contains network information that Replication Server requires to connect to RepConnector. Add a RepConnector connection entry to the Replication Server interfaces file for each RepConnector connection.
Either record this information on the worksheet provided as you go through the procedure, or complete the worksheet first, and then use it in the procedure.
Server name – the name of the data server. This name should be unique and case-sensitive. This value should be 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.
Sybase recommends that you use a name that clearly identifies
this connection as allowing Replication Server to communicate with RepConnector,
and that distinguishes it from a traditional connection between
any data server and the corresponding database.
Protocol – the network protocol for the DSI connection. This value should be recorded on line 3.b of the worksheet.
You can use either the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or the Transport Layer Interface (TLI) TCP protocol on UNIX.
Host name – the machine name where the RepConnector connection will be running. This value should be recorded on line 3.c of the worksheet.
Port Number – the port where the RepConnector connection will be listening. This must be an unused port number on the host machine. This value should be recorded on line 3.d of the worksheet.
