Parameters

rs_job_name – the name of the Replication Server job to be created.
rssd_connection_name – the name of the existing RSSD connection.
source_connection_name – the name of the source connection.
target_connection_name – the name of the target connection.
da_connection_name – the name of the Data Assurance (DA) server connection.
refdef_ds – the name of the datasource defined in the replication definition.
refdef_db – the name of the database defined in the replication definition.
schedule_name – the name of the schedule to be added.
profile_name – the name of the profile to be added.
max_concurrent_comparisons – (Optional) the number of the comparisons that can be run concurrently with a job. The default value is 5.
description – (Optional) description of the agent. Use double quotes if you are using a reserved word or blank spaces.
comparison_param – defines the comparison option for the job.

value – defines a value for the comparison_param.

Comparison Options
`comparison_param`	`value`
ABORT_DIFF_MAX	Aborts row comparison if the difference count exceeds the specified value. Valid values: 1 to 9223372036854775807. Default value:1000.
ABORT_DIFF_ROW_COUNT	Determines whether to abort row comparison if table row counts do not match. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
AUTO_RECONCILE	Indicates whether to automatically apply the reconciliation script. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false. Note: To enable AUTO_RECONCILE, set CREATE_COL_LOG to true.
COMPARE_MODE	Specifies the row comparison mode. `row_compare` – compares all table rows. `key_compare` – compares the primary key columns. `row_count` – compress row count. Default value: row_compare.
COMPRESS_DATA_TRANSFER	Compresses the row data between the agent and the server. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
CREATE_COL_LOG	Generates a column differences log, which lists all missing, orphaned, and inconsistent row values (keys and columns). Create a column log if you want to: Generate a reconciliation script Perform automatic reconciliation Generate a detailed report Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
CREATE_RECON_SCRIPT	Generates a reconciliation script. To use this parameter, you must also set CREATE_COL_LOG to true. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
ENABLE_ROW_COUNT	Determines whether or not to count source and target table rows before they are compared. DA server uses the row count to estimate the comparison progress and end time. Note: DA server counts rows if COMPARE_MODE is row_count. Use ENABLE_ROW_COUNT only if COMPARE_MODE is a value other than row_count. Valid values: true or false. Default value: true.
EXTERNAL_SORT	Sorts rows on the agent, thereby reducing the impact of processing the ORDER BY clause in the databases. Valid values: true or false. Default value: false.
HASH_TYPE	Specifies the hash type for the comparison. `database_hash` – use the hash function provided by the database. `agent_hash` – use the hash function provided by Replication Server Data Assurance Option. Default value: database_hash.
RETRY_DIFF	Specifies the retry option. `never` – no recompare. `wait_and_retry` – run recompare based on RETRY_MAX and RETRY_DELAY_SEC settings. Default value: never.
RETRY_DELAY_SEC	Specifies the number of seconds delay for each recomparison. Valid values: 0 to 86400. Default value: 10.
RETRY_MAX	Specifies the total number of recomparison for rows that have differences resulting from a previous comparison. Valid values: 0 to 100. Default value: 3.

Column Comparison Option
Column Option	Value
COMPARE_MODE	Specifies for how each column is compared. column_hash – compares using column hash value. row_hash – compares all columns with this option together with a whole hash value. literal – compares using column literal value.

schedule_param – defines the scheduling option for the job.

value – defines a value for schedule_param.

Scheduling Option Parameters
`schedule_param`	`value`
date_value	Specifies a date in the scheduler.
time_value	Specifies a time in the scheduler.
month_day_value	Specifies the day of the month in the scheduler.
cron_value	Specifies the cron option value in the scheduler.

Examples

Example 1 – creates a new job named “myrsjob_1”:

import job myrsjob_1 
with rssd connection MyRSSDConn 
with map MyConnPDB1 repdef_ds repdef_db 
with map MyConnRDB1 repdef_ds2 repdef_db2 
set MAX_CONCURRENT_COMPARISON = 3 
with comparison options 
set COMPARE_MODE= row_compare 
and set ABORT_DIFF_ROW_COUNT = true
and set ABORT_DIFF_MAX = 20
and set RETRY_DIFF = wait_and_retry
and set RETRY_MAX= 2
and set RETRY_DELAY_SEC = 10
and set HASH_TYPE = database_hash
with schedule myschedule_1  // define the job schedule
set type=every_days
and set every=2
and set time=10:00
and set keep=1
and set keep_unit=months
go

The returned result is:

Job “myrsjob_1” was created successfully.
