Configuring an OpenEdge Replication-enabled database

To configure your source database and target database for OpenEdge Replication, you must configure the replication property files for both the OpenEdge Replication source database and the OpenEdge Replication target database.

In the OpenEdge-install-dir/properties folder, OpenEdge Replication provides two sample property files: source.repl.properties and target.repl.properties. You can save these files and modify them, using either OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer, or a text editor, so that you can use them with your source and target OpenEdge Replication databases. Because source.repl.properties and target.repl.properties are samples, some of the properties and values are generic; it is up to you to customize the properties to reflect the settings you want to use with your own source and target databases.

When you use OpenEdge Management or OpenEdge Explorer to make configuration changes to the Replication server or Replication target properties, the changes are reflected in the applicable property file.
