Configuring the source database property file
Before you start Fathom Replication on your source database, you must configure your replication server. You configure the server by saving the sample source properties file provided by Fathom Replication and editing it.
![]()
To configure a Fathom Replication server for the source database:
- Make a copy of the
source.repl.properties
file located in theproperties
subdirectory of the Fathom Replication installation.- Place this new file in the same directory as your source database with the name
db-name
.repl.properties
, wheredb-name
is the name of your source database.- 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 on a Windows platform, you can use Notepad or the Progress Explorer to change your properties file. For more information about the variables you can configure in the properties file, see the "Fathom Replication properties" section. For more information about changing the properties by using Progress Explorer, see the Progress Explorer Help.
The following is a sample
source.repl.properties
file for the Fathom Replication server with two configured agents:
In this example,
agent1
in thecontrol-agents=agent1
of the[server]
section must match the control agent name specified in the[control-agent.agent1]
section head. Also,agent2
in thecontrol-agents=agent2
of the[server]
section must match the control agent name specified in the[control-agent.agent2]
section head.ALL
is not allowed as an agent name. Each agent must have a unique name.When you finish editing the file, save it.
Agent rules
The following rules apply to the Fathom Replication agent:
- Once a Fathom Replication agent is removed from the properties file, it should not be added again unless the target database is recreated from the source database.
- Do not rename an Fathom Replication agent after Fathom Replication has been started once.
- You can add a Fathom Replication agent (maximum is two agents) as long as the target databases are created as instructed.
