Release 10.1B: OpenEdge Replication
User Guide


The OpenEdge Replication property files

Each OpenEdge Replication source database and target database has a property file, which contains information specific to that database. For example, the source properties file contains details including, among other things, the name of the source database, the name of the agent or agents the Replication server controls, what type of transition the agent will perform, and how long a Replication agent will wait after losing contact with the Replication server before performing automatic transition. The target properties file contains details such as the name of the agent and the name of the target database.

OpenEdge Replication provides two separate, sample property files: the source.repl.properties file and the target.repl.properties file. You can copy each of these files to modify and use as your replication property files, saving each with the correct name for your source database and target database (source-db-name.repl.properties and target-db-name.repl.properties).

The Replication failover and failback processes perform successfully only if you set all the properties appropriately for your database environment.

Note: Progress Software Corporation recommends that you test OpenEdge Replication (with the properties you have set) in a nonproduction environment before implementing it in a full production setting.
