Connection Configuration Parameter Settings

When Replication Agent connects to another replication system component, it uses values stored in its configuration parameters to define a minimal set of connection properties.

These properties are:

Server host name
Port number
User login name
User login password

Note: The complete set of connection parameters is different for each database. For the complete set of connection parameters that each database requires, see the Replication Agent Primary Database Guide.

For its connection to the Replication Server, Replication Agent relies on the values of two additional configuration parameters (rs_source_db and rs_source_ds) to identify the Replication Server primary database connection in the LTL connect source command.

The Replication Agent instance must be in Admin state to set up connection parameters. In Admin state, the instance has no connections established to other replication system components, but it is available to execute administrative commands.

Note: The values of the rs_source_db and rs_source_ds parameters must exactly match the database and data server names specified in the create connection command for the Replication Server primary database connection. The values are case-sensitive.

See the Replication Agent Reference Manual for more information about the rs_source_db and rs_source_ds parameters.

To record the values of connection configuration parameters for each Replication Agent instance, use the “Installation and Setup Worksheet” in the Replication Agent Installation Guide.

Note: The Replication Agent instance must be running before you can set its connection configuration parameter values.
