Section 1: Mirror Replication Agent configuration

Identify the Mirror Replication Agent instance name, administration port, and other configuration information.

StepsTo complete Section 1 of the Installation and Setup Worksheet

  1. Determine the name of the Mirror Replication Agent instance. The name should be recognizable as identifying this specific instance.

    Record the name of the Mirror Replication Agent instance as item 1a on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.

  2. Identify the port number of the administration port for this Mirror Replication Agent instance. The port number must be unique on the Mirror Replication Agent host machine.

    If you are not the System Administrator for the Mirror Replication Agent host machine, ask your System Administrator which port number you should use for the Mirror Replication Agent instance administration port.

    Record the Mirror Replication Agent port number as item 1b on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.

  3. Determine the location of the Sybase interfaces file. The interfaces file is named sql.ini on Microsoft Windows platforms, or interfaces on UNIX platforms.

    Use this item if you plan to use an Open Client™ application (such as the interactive SQL isql or jisql utility, or SQL Advantage®) to administer the Mirror Replication Agent instance.

    NoteThe interfaces file must be accessible to the machine that hosts the Open Client application, not necessarily on the Mirror Replication Agent host machine.

    Record the Sybase interfaces file location as item 1c on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.

  4. Determine the Mirror Replication Agent administrator login name and password for the Mirror Replication Agent instance. Use this information when you configure the Mirror Replication Agent instance.

    Record the Mirror Replication Agent administrator login name as item 1d (admin_user) and the password as item 1e (admin_pw) on the Installation and Setup Worksheet.
