Configuration parameters and command

You can configure the ERSSD backup time and directory by using the following Replication Server configuration parameters in Table 4-4, with this command:

configure replication server
set
     {erssd_backup_start_time |
     erssd_backup_start_date |
     erssd_backup_dir |
     erssd_backup_interval | erssd_ra}
to 'value'

Do not update these values directly in the rs_config table.
