User’s Guide

> ## Agent properties

> Table 3–3 is a list of agent properties and their values.
> Agent properties are found after the `[agent]` directive in the agent properties file. The properties file must be stored in the directory where the target database resides.

> Property names and values are separated by an equals sign. For example: `name=agent1`.

> Table 3–3: Agent properties
> Property name | Value | Description
> --- | --- | ---
>     connect-timeout
>     minutes
> | Specifies how many minutes the Fathom Replication agent will wait for connection from the Fathom Replication server until the target database is shutdown. `minutes` is an integer >= 15 and <= 1440. Using this property means you do not have to do a forced shutdown on your target database. If the Fathom Replication agent does not receive a connection attempt from the Fathom Replication server before the number of minutes specified, the Fathom Replication agent will terminate and allow target database connections.
>     database
>     db_name
> | Specifies the source database name.
>     listener-maxport
>     port_number
> | Specifies the maximum TCP port number for the agent. `port_number` must be > listener-minport`+1` and < the maximum allowable port number on the system. For UNIX the maximum port number is 65534. For NT the maximum port number is 32765.
>     listener-minport
>     port_number
> | Specifies the minimum TCP port number. The agent selects a port in a range between the values specified by `listener-minport` and `listener-maxport`. `port_number` must be > 1024 and < `listener-maxport`.
>     maximum-polling-delay
>     milliseconds
> | Specifies the maximum value for a polling delay. By default, the polling delay starts at 5 ms and automatically increases during periods of inactivity to a maximum of 500 ms. `milliseconds` is a value >500 and <1000.
>     minimum-polling-delay
>     milliseconds
> | Specifies the minimum value for a polling delay. By default, the polling delay starts at 5 ms and automatically increases during periods of inactivity to a maximum of 500 ms. `milliseconds` is a value >=1 and <=10.
>     name
>     agent_name
> | Specifies the Fathom Replication agent name. By convention, the `agent_name` should match the name specified in the source database properties file. This directive is only used by Progress Explorer. `ALL` is not allowed as an agent name. Each agent must have a unique name.
