Section 5: Mirror Replication Agent parameter values for the primary data server

Determine and record the values of the Mirror Replication Agent configuration parameters for the primary data server.

StepsTo complete Section 5 of the Installation and Setup worksheet

  1. Identify the name of the primary data server host machine.

    Record the host machine name as item 5a (pds_host_name) on the Installation and Setup worksheet on page Installation and Setup worksheet on page §.

  2. Identify the port number of the client socket port for the primary data server.

    NotePort numbers have a range of 1 to 65,535.

    Record the client socket port number as item 5b (pds_port_number) on the §.

  3. Identify the name of the primary database on the primary data server.

    The value of the pds_database_name parameter (worksheet item 5d) can be identical to the value of rs_source_db (worksheet item 2b), as long as the value of the pds_database_name parameter exists as a valid database at the primary database server.

    If your primary database server is Oracle, you must use the value of the ORACLE_SID system environment variable (%ORACLE_SID% on Windows, or $ORACLE_SID on UNIX).

    Record the database name as item 5d (pds_database_name) on the Installation and Setup worksheet on page §.

  4. Identify the user ID and password that Mirror Replication Agent uses to log in to the primary data server.

    NoteThis user ID must not be the same as the Replication Server maintenance ID for the primary database connection.

    This primary data server user ID must have several database-level privileges for the primary database. See the Mirror Replication Agent Primary Database Guide for more information.

    Record this primary data server user ID as item 5d (pds_username) and the password as item 5e (pds_password) on the Installation and Setup worksheet on page §.

  5. Identify the character set of the primary database.

    For a list of valid Java character sets for your primary database, see Supported Encodings on the Internationalization page under Documentation for the J2SE 1.4.2 JDhttp://java.sun.com/j2se/corejava/intl/index.jsp.

    Record the name of the equivalent Java character set as item 5f on the Installation and Setup worksheet on page §.
