Connection Profiles

Connection profiles allow you to configure your connection with a predefined set of properties.

Syntax

create connection to data_server.database
using profile connection_profile;version
set username [to] user 
[other_create_connection_options]
[display_only]

Parameters

data_server – The data server that holds the database to be added to the replication system.

database – The database to be added to the replication system.

connection_profile – Indicates the connection profile that you want to use to configure a connection, modify the RSSD, and build replicate database objects.

version – Specifies the connection profile version to use.

user – The login name of the Replication Server maintenance user for the database. Replication Server uses this login name to maintain replicated data. You must specify a user name if network-based security is not enabled.

other_create_connection_options – Use the other create connection options to set connection options not specified in the profile, such as setting your password, or to override options specified in the profile, such as specifying a custom function string class to override the function string class provided in Replication Server. See the Replication Server Reference Manual > Replication Server Commands > create connection for a complete list of the other options for create connection command.

display_only – Use display_only with the using profile clause to display the commands that will be executed and the names of the servers upon which the commands will be executed. See the client and Replication Server logs for the result of using display_only.
