Release 10.1B: Progress Fathom Replication
User Guide


Configuring the target database property file

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

To configure a Fathom Replication agent for the target database:

  1. Make a copy of the target.repl.properties file located in the properties subdirectory of the Fathom 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 on a Windows platform, you can use Notepad or the Progress Explorer to change your properties file.
  4. For more information on 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 properties file for the Fathom 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
