Create and execute the new instance resource file.
Note: Be sure your CLASSPATH environment variable points to the correct Oracle JDBC
driver before proceeding.
a) Validate the settings in the resource file:
• On Windows:
%SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\bin\ra_admin.bat -vr myra.rs
• On UNIX or Linux:
$SYBASE/RAX-15_5/bin/ra_admin.sh -vr myra.rs
Note: Make sure permission for the ra_admin.sh file is set no broader than 700
(read/write/execute for user, no permissions for group and other).
where myra.rs is the path and name of the resource file. Validation results are returned
as either:
•
Response-file processing completed
Or
•
Response-file processing completed with errors
If any validation fails, the ra_admin utility returns an error message and information
about the failure. You can repeat the validation process as many times as necessary
until it executes without error. No entities are changed or created.
b) Create and configure the Replication Agent instance:
• On Windows:
%SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\bin\ra_admin.bat -r myra.rs
• On UNIX or Linux:
$SYBASE/RAX-15_5/bin/ra_admin.sh -r myra.rs
Note: Make sure permission for the ra_admin.sh file is set no broader than 700
(read/write/execute for user, no permissions for group and other).
where myra.rs is the path and name of the resource file.
