LTM configuration file

The configuration file for an LTM for a primary database or an RSSD is created during the installation process. If you are modifying a primary database, you may need to modify the configuration file for the LTM for the database. Refer to the Replication Server installation and configuration guides for your platform.

LTM finds the start-up information it needs in a configuration file. The format of the LTM configuration file is the same as the Replication Server configuration file, which is described in “Setting Replication Server configuration parameters” on page 99.

The file is created by the rs_init program, but it can be edited with a text editor. If it contains encrypted passwords, however, you must modify them using rs_init. Refer to the Replication Server installation and configuration guides for your platform for more information about working with encrypted passwords. The default name for the LTM configuration file is the LTM name with “.cfg” appended.

NoteIf a password is stored in encrypted form, you cannot edit the password in the LTM configuration file. To change an encrypted password in this file, use the rs_init installation program. See the Replication Server installation guide for your platform for more information.

Refer to the reference page for “ltm” in Chapter 7, “Programs,” in the Replication Server Reference Manual for detailed descriptions of LTM configuration file parameters.
