A resource file is an ASCII text file that contains configuration information for
the Replication Agent instance to be created by ra_admin.
The
ra_admin parameters
in the resource file allow you to specify these options, in addition to
creating a Replication Agent instance:
-
Create the instance user login in the primary
data server, and grant all required permissions.
-
Start the new instance after it is created.
-
Initialize the new instance after it starts.
Note:
When you validate a resource file with ra_admin -vr, no other action is
taken, and no Replication Agent instance is created.
When you create a
Replication Agent instance with a resource file:
- The asa_password configuration parameter value
must not contain single quotes, double quotes, or a semicolon.
- The pds_username and
pds_password configuration parameter values
must not contain single or double quotes if the
create_pds_username parameter is set to
yes.
