Determine the values of the connection parameters for Replication Server. These values are used in the Replication Server create connection command when you create the database connection for the primary database.
For more information about using the create connection command, see the Mirror Activator Administration Guide.
Completing Section 2 of the Installation and Setup
worksheet
Identify a data server name and a database name representing the primary database connection for the Replication Server, using the following criteria:
Replication Server connects to the primary database through the Mirror Replication Agent instance, so the data server name can be the name of the Mirror Replication Agent instance.
The database name can be any name that helps you identify the connection Replication Server uses to communicate with the primary database.
Record the instance name or the data server name as item 2a (rs_source_ds) and the database name as item 2b (rs_source_db) in Section 2: Replication Server parameter values for the primary database connection on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
These names are case sensitive.
Identify the Maintenance User ID and password associated with the Replication Server database connection to the primary database.
The Maintenance User ID must be a valid user ID at the primary database.
By default, transactions executed by the Maintenance
User ID in the primary database are not replicated. Therefore, the
Maintenance User ID cannot be the user ID of a primary database
user who applies transactions that might need to be replicated.
Record the Maintenance User ID as item 2c (Maintenance User) and the password as item 2d (Maintenance User password) in Section 2: Replication Server parameter values for the primary database connection on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
