Creating a new resource file

A resource file template named mra.rs is provided in the init subdirectory of the Mirror Replication Agent installation directory:

C:\sybase\MRA-12_6\init\mra.rs

The resource file template contains comments that describe each configuration parameter and its value.

NoteSybase® recommends that you validate each resource file before you create a Mirror Replication Agent instance using that resource file.

StepsTo create a resource file

  1. Copy the resource file template mra.rs to another file that you will edit to create the new resource file:

    cp mra.rs pubs2.rs
    

    where pubs2.rs is the name of the new resource file you want to create.

    If you have an existing resource file, you can copy it to create a new resource file instead of copying the template.

  2. Use your preferred text editor to edit the new resource file copy.

After you create a new resource file, you should validate it. See “Validating a resource file” for more information.
