Before you can start a Replication Agent instance and connect
to the primary data server, you must set all required variables.
- Add the location of the JDBC driver
for the primary database to the CLASSPATH environment variable.
See the Replication Agent Primary Database Guide for
more information about installing and setting up the JDBC driver
for the primary database and setting up Replication Agent connectivity.
- If the character set on your Replication Agent is
different from the one on your primary database, you need to set
the RA_JAVA_DFLT_CHARSET environment
variable, so it is the same as that of the primary database.
