Creating a Resource File

Create a resource file from one of the provided templates.

Prerequisites

Locate your resource file template rao_oracle.rs in the init subdirectory of the Replication Agent installation directory. For example:

C:\sybase\RAX-15_5\init\rao_oracle.rs

The resource file template contains comments that describe each configuration parameter and its value.

Note: Sybase recommends that you validate each resource file before you create a Replication Agent instance using that resource file.
Task
  1. Copy the resource file template to another file that you edit to create the new resource file. For example:
    cp rao_oracle.rs pubs2.rs

    where pubs2.rs is the name of the new resource file you want to create.

    If you have an existing resource file, you can copy that file to create a new resource file, instead of copying the template.

  2. Use your preferred text editor to edit the resource file copy that you created.

After you create a new resource file, you should validate it.
