Parameter Description Example values

rssd_username Valid user for RSSD. SAMPLE_RS_RSSD_maint

rssd_password Password for rssd_username. SAM-

PLE_RS_RSSD_maint_ps

start_instance Automatically start the instance that was cre-

ated.

yes

initialize_instance Automatically initialize the new Replication

Agent instance.

yes

Be sure your CLASSPATH environment variable points to the Microsoft SQL Server

JDBC driver, and use the Replication Agent

ra_admin

utility to validate the settings in the

new instance resource file using the

-vr

parameter. For example:

%SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\bin\ra_admin -vr myra.rs

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.

First-Time Initialization

To initialize the primary data server, Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server installs

objects at the data-server level and at the database level.

Data-server level modifications are required only once.

If you have previously initialized the primary data server and a Replication Agent instance and

want to initialize another Replication Agent instance, skip to Subsequent Initialization.
