Release 10.1B: OpenEdge Replication
User Guide


Configuring the target database property file

Before you start OpenEdge Replication on your target database, you must configure your agent. You configure your agent by saving the sample target properties file provided by OpenEdge Replication and editing it.

To configure an OpenEdge Replication agent for the target database:

  1. Make a copy of the target.repl.properties file located in the properties subdirectory of the OpenEdge Replication installation.
  2. Place this new file in the same directory as your target database with the name db-name.repl.properties, where db-name is the name of your target database.
  3. To alter the default configuration, edit the file. If you are on UNIX, you can use vi, emacs, or your favorite text editor to change the properties file. If you are in Windows, you can use Notepad or the Progress Explorer to change your properties file.
  4. For more information about the variables you can configure in the properties file, see the "OpenEdge Replication properties" section. For more information about changing the properties by using Progress Explorer, see the Progress Explorer Help.

    The following is a sample properties file for the OpenEdge Replication agent:

    [agent] 
       name=agent1 
       database=your target name 
       listener-minport=4387 
       listener-maxport=4500 
    [transition] 
       database-role=normal 
       auto-begin-ai=0 
       auto-add-ai-areas=0 
       ai-structure-file=repl1_ai.st
