Identify the Mirror Replication Agent instance name, the administration port number, and the other administration information, and record it on the worksheet.
Completing Section 1 of the Installation and Setup
worksheet
Determine the instance type of the Mirror Replication Agent. This instance type determines which primary database server the Mirror Replication Agent will work with.
Instance types are:
ase – Adaptive Server
oracle – Oracle Database Server
Record the instance type as item 1a in Section 1: Mirror Replication Agent administration information on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
Determine the name of the Mirror Replication Agent instance. This name should identify this specific instance.
Record the name of the instance as item 1b in Section 1: Mirror Replication Agent administration information on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
Identify the client socket 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 system on which you are installing the Mirror Replication Agent instance, ask your System Administrator which port number you should use for the Mirror Replication Agent administration port.
Port numbers have a range of 1 to 65,535.
Record the port number as item 1c in Section 1: Mirror Replication Agent administration information on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
Mirror Replication Agent requires two port numbers. The additional
one is for the RASD. By default, Mirror Replication Agent assigns the RASD port: admin
port +1. This number must also be unique on
the Mirror Replication Agent host machine.
Determine the location of the interfaces file (sql.ini on Windows or interfaces on Linux and UNIX).
Use this item only if you plan to use the isql or jisql utility or Replication Manager. Replication Manager is not included in the Mirror Replication installation, but is included with Replication Server.
The interfaces file must reside on the same machine
as the Mirror Replication Agent client (isql or Replication
Manager), not necessarily the Mirror Replication Agent host machine.
Record the interfaces file location as item 1d in Section 1: Mirror Replication Agent administration information on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
Determine the administrative user ID and password for logging in to the Mirror Replication Agent administration port. Use this information to create the administrative user ID during configuration and setup.
For more information, see the Mirror Activator Administration Guide.
Record the administrative user ID as item 1e (admin_user) and the password as item 1f (admin_pw) in Section 1: Mirror Replication Agent administration information on the “Installation and Setup worksheet.”
