Configuring Fathom Replication
To configure your source database for Fathom Replication, you must configure a replication properties file for both the Fathom Replication server and the Fathom Replication agent.
Configuring the Fathom Replication server
The following steps document how to configure your Fathom Replication server.
To configure the Fathom Replication server for your source database:
- Make a copy of the
source.repl.properties
file located in theproperties
subdirectory of the Fathom Replication installation.- Place the new file in the same directory as your source database with the name
database
.repl.properties
, wheredatabase
is the name of your source database.- To alter the default configuration, this file must be edited. 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 on the variables you can configure in the properties file, see the "Fathom Replication properties" section.
The following is a sample properties file for the Fathom Replication server with one configured agent:
In the previous example,
agent1
in thecontrol-agents=agent1
of the[server]
section must match the control agent name specified in the[control-agent.agent1]
section head.The following is a sample 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.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 an additional Fathom Replication agent (maximum is two agents) as long as the target databases are created as instructed.
Configuring the Fathom Replication agent
Before you start Fathom Replication on your target database you must configure your agent.
To configure Fathom Replication agent for the target database:
- Make a copy of the
target.repl.properties
file located in theproperties
subdirectory of the Fathom Replication installation.- Place this new file in the same directory as your target database with the name
database
.repl.properties
, wheredatabase
is the name of your target database.- To alter the default configuration, the
database
.repl.properties
file must be edited. 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 on the variables you can configure in the properties file, see the "Fathom Replication properties" section.The following is a sample properties file for the Fathom Replication agent:
