Configuration file format

The configuration file is a flat ASCII file that contains configuration information for a single Mirror Replication Agent instance.

The first two lines in the configuration file identify the file as a Mirror Replication Agent configuration file and record the time that the file was last modified. For example:

#MRA Property File
 #Tue Feb 16 22:41:21 GMT+00:00 2004

Each configuration parameter name appears on a separate line, followed by the equal symbol (=) and the current value of the parameter. For example:

compress_ltl_syntax=true

If the Mirror Replication Agent instance is not running, you can view the configuration file to examine the current Mirror Replication Agent configuration.

NoteSybase recommends that you do not edit the configuration file, because Mirror Replication Agent overwrites the entire configuration file every time the ra_config or ra_set_login command is invoked to change a parameter value.

If the Mirror Replication Agent instance is running, use the ra_config command to view the current Mirror Replication Agent configuration.
