There are different types of configuration parameters in the rs_config system table that affect the Replication Server and different database objects.
Local Replication Server – parameters whose effects are restricted to the current Replication Server. These include the basic configuration parameters and the parameters listed in Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 > Performance Tuning > Configuration Parameters that Affect Performance > Replication Server Parameters that Affect Performance.
Route – parameters that affect routes from the current Replication Server to other Replication Servers.
Database connection – parameters that affect database connections originating with the Replication Server. See Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 > Performance Tuning > Use Parallel DSI Threads > Parallel DSI parameters.
Logical database connection – Replication Server parameters that apply to logical database connections for warm standby applications. See Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 > Manage Warm Standby Applications > Alter Warm Standby Database Connections > Alter Logical connections > Change Parameters Affecting Logical Connections f or information about setting default and per-target values for logical connection parameters.
Network-based security services – parameters that affect network security.
Performance – parameters that affect the performance of a Replication Server. See Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 > Performance Tuning > Configuration Parameters that Affect Performance and Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 > Performance Tuning > Use Parallel DSI Threads > Parallel DSI parameters.
