Verify the Mirror Replication Agent instance installation

StepsVerifying the Mirror Replication Agent installation

  1. Update the Replication Server interfaces file to include an entry for the Mirror Replication Agent location. See the Replication Server Administration Guide.

  2. Verify the connection to the Mirror Replication Agent:

    1. Open a command window in the $SYBASE directory of your Replication Server installation.

    2. Set the environment variables by sourcing SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh, as appropriate for your shell.

    3. Use isql to log in to Mirror Replication Agent:

      isql –Usa –P –Smyma
      
  3. Verify the Mirror Replication Agent connection to Replication Server:

    1. Enter:

      test_connection RS
      
      go
      
    2. This output appears:

       Type Connection
      
       ---- ----------
      
       RS   succeeded
      
      (1 row affected)
      
    3. If the result indicates a failure, the Replication Server or the RSSD is not responding, or the connection properties (host, port, user, or password) are incorrect.Verify the host and port configuration values, and manually log in to the Replication Server and RSSD as the configured user to determine which property is incorrectly defined.

      See the Mirror Activator Administration Guide.

  4. Verify the Mirror Replication Agent connection to the primary ASE database:

    1. Enter:

      test_connection PDS
      
      go
      

      This output appears:

      Type Connection
      
      ---- ----------
      
      PDS  succeeded
      
      (1 row affected)
      
    2. If the result indicates a failure:

      • The server is not responding, or

      • The connection properties host, port, pds_database_name, user, or password are incorrect.

      Check the host and port configuration values, and manually log in to the primary ASE database as the configured user (pds_username in the $SYBASE/MA-15_2/init/myma.rs) to find which property is incorrectly defined.
