Copying a Replication Agent configuration

When you create a new Replication Agent instance, using either the ra_admin utility or the Administrator (GUI) utility, you can specify that the new Replication Agent instance use configuration parameters that are already set for an existing Replication Agent instance.

NoteWhen you choose to copy an existing configuration for a new Replication Agent instance, some of the configuration parameters in the existing configuration file are not copied to the new configuration file.

If you do not specify that an existing configuration be used when creating a new Replication Agent instance, the utility creates a new default configuration file, with default values for the configuration parameters, for the new Replication Agent instance.

For more information on using the ra_admin utility or the Administrator (GUI) utility, see Chapter 3, “Administering Sybase Replication Agent”.
