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

Item	Description	Example value
5a	pds_interfaces_file This value is for ASE only. A valid ASE interfaces file that contains the connection properties to the primary ASE data server.	On UNIX: $SYBASE /ASE-15_0 /interfaces On Microsoft Windows: %SYBASE%\ini\sql.ini
5b	pds_server_name This value is for ASE only. The ASE connection name that identifies the primary database connection in the ASE pds_interfaces_file. If you are configuring an ASE cluster, use the cluster server name.	ase_server
5c	pds_tns_filename This value is for Oracle only. The fully-qualified file name identifying the Oracle tnsnames.ora file that contains connection properties for the primary Oracle data server.	/path1/tnsnames.ora
5d	pds_tns_connection This value is for Oracle only. The Oracle connection name that identifies the primary database connection in the Oracle tnsnames.ora file	SALES_DB
5e	asm_tns_filename This value is for Oracle only. Identifies the Oracle tnsnames.ora filename where the ASM connection information is located. If this is the same tnsnames.ora file as configured in pds_tns_filename, you can leave this parameter unset. Set this parameter only if the redo logs of your primary Oracle are under Automatic Storage Management.	/path2/tnsnames.ora
5f	asm_tns_connection This value is for Oracle only. Identifies the Oracle ASM connection name found in the tnsnames.ora file. Set this parameter only if the redo logs of your primary Oracle are under Automatic Storage Management.	+ASM1
5g	asm_username This value is for Oracle only. Identifies the Oracle user name to be used when connecting to the ASM server. Set this parameter only if the redo logs of your primary Oracle are under Automatic Storage Management.	sys as sysdba
5h	asm_password This value is for Oracle only. Password for Oracle ASM access for the user specified in asm_username. Set this parameter only if the redo logs of your primary Oracle are under Automatic Storage Management.	change_on_install
5i	pds_database_name This is the name of the primary database on the primary database server. Mirror Replication Agent uses this value to determine which database is the primary database. For Oracle, use the $ORACLE_SID.	sales_db
5j	pds_username This is the user ID that Mirror Replication Agent uses to log in to the primary database.	pds_user
5k	pds_password This is the password for pds_username.	pds_pw
5l	RA_JAVA_DFLT_CHARSET This is the Java-equivalent of the primary database character set. Unless you want to override the default character set that the JVM finds on your system, you do not need to explicitly set the character set-related environment variable, RA_JAVA_DFLT_CHARSET. However, the system default character set must match the character set of the primary database.	On UNIX: ISO8859_1 On Windows: Cp850
