A RepConnector profile contains the connection property information needed to connect to a RepConnector runtime instance. The profile manages all the configured RepConnector connections defined for an installed RepConnector instance running on an application server. You can configure as many RepConnector profiles as necessary to manage all the RepConnector installations from a single RepConnector Manager.
When you install RepConnector Manager, the installation provides two sample default profiles you can use to connect to your RepConnector runtime:
EAServer: 8000 for Sybase EAServer
WebLogic: 7001 for BEA WebLogic Server
From the RepConnector Manager view, right-click the Sybase RepConnector folder, and select New Connection Profile to create a new RepConnector runtime profile.
Enter profile details:
Profile Name – the name of the RepConnector profile. This name must be unique within this instance of RepConnector Manager. The name of the profile can contain alphanumeric characters, colons, periods, hyphens, and underscores. It cannot contain white spaces.
Host – the HTTP host name of the machine where the target RepConnector runtime is running. The default value is localhost.
Port – the HTTP port number where the target RepConnector runtime is listening. The default is 8000 for EAServer and 7001 for BEA WebLogic.
User – the RepConnector administrator user ID to connect to the RepConnector server. The default is repraadmin.
See “Setting up the RepConnector Server administrator login” for information about changing
the default user name and password.
Select OK to create a new profile.
For example, enter:
Profile Name: EAServer:8000 Host: myhost Port: 8000 User: repraadmin
Right-click the profile to rename, and select Rename Profile.
Enter a new profile name that is unique within the same RepConnector Manager instance.
Select OK.
Editing the profile properties
Right-click the profile to modify, and select Edit Profile Properties.
Modify the fields and select OK.
Right-click the profile and select Delete Profile.
Select OK.
This procedure deletes a profile from the RepConnector
Manager tree view only. It does not make changes to the runtime
configuration.
Setting up the RepConnector
Server administrator login
Each RepConnector instance has one administrator login. The default administrator login is “repraadmin” with no password. Sybase recommends that you change the administrator login and password to secure access to the RepConnector runtime.
The login name and the password must be alphanumeric.
The length of the password must be must be equal to or less than 30 characters.
To modify the login:
From the command prompt, navigate to:
On Windows:
<EAServer_installation_folder>\repra\bin
On UNIX:
<EAServer_installation_folder>/repra/bin
Run this command to change the user name and password:
On Windows:
setlogin.bat <old_user_name> <old_password> \ <new_user_name> <new_user_password>
On UNIX:
setlogin.sh <old_user_name> <old_password> \ <new_user_name> <new_user_password>
Having no password is represented by empty quotation
marks. To create a password, enter:
setlogin.sh repraadmin ““\ repraadmin thepassword
Logging in to the RepConnector Server
Start the RepConnector Server if it is not running.
Right-click the connection profile and select Login.
You see a window listing all of the RepConnector profile properties and an empty password field. Enter the password and click Login.
For security reasons, you must reenter the password
each time you log in.
Once you have successfully logged in, you can see all the connections that are configured with the RepConnector runtime component. RepConnector provides one default connection named “sample_repConnector.”
The tree view under the profile folder can be refreshed to show the current status of the runtime.
Right-click the profile and select Refresh View.
Logging out of the profile and the RepConnector
runtime
Log out of the RepConnector profile to disconnect a profile.
Right-click the logged-in profile and select Logout.
Select OK.
