You set OpenEdge Replication Agent properties to define the configuration for the local agent running for the target database.

Note: If you are not familiar with OpenEdge Replication and its configuration, see OpenEdge Replication: User Guide.

To set the OpenEdge Replication Agent properties:

  1. Click Resources in the management console menu. All resources managed by your console appear in the grid frame.
  2. Filter or search for the database whose Replication Agent properties you want to set.
  3. Click the Edit icon. The Database details page appears.
  4. In the Command and control section of the page, click Configuration. The Database Configuration page appears.
  5. In the OpenEdge Replication Group Links section, click Agent. The Database Replication Configuration page opens.
  6. Set the following properties:
    • Agent name — Specifies the OpenEdge Replication agent name. By convention, the agent name should match the name specified in the source database properties file.

      ALL is not allowed as an agent name. Each agent must have a unique name.

    • Database — Specifies the source database name.
    • Connection Timeout — Specifies how many seconds the OpenEdge Replication agent will wait for connection from the OpenEdge Replication server before the Replication agent shuts itself down.

      The seconds value must be greater than or equal to 120, and less than or equal to 86,400.

      Using this property means you do not have to do a forced shutdown on your target database. If the OpenEdge Replication agent does not receive a connection attempt from the OpenEdge Replication server before the number of seconds specified have elapsed, the OpenEdge Replication agent will terminate and allow some limited system-level target database connections.

    • Polling delay minimum — Specifies the minimum value, in milliseconds, for a polling delay.

      By default, the polling delay starts at 5 milliseconds and automatically increases during periods of inactivity to a maximum of 500 milliseconds.

      The milliseconds value must be greater than or equal to one, and less than or equal to ten.

    • Polling delay maximum — Specifies the maximum value, in milliseconds, for a polling delay.

      By default, the polling delay starts at 5 milliseconds and automatically increases during periods of inactivity to a maximum of 500 milliseconds.

      The milliseconds value must be greater than or equal to 500 and less than or equal to 1000.

    • Agent minimum port — Specifies the minimum TCP port number. The agent selects a port in a range between the values specified by the minimum port and the maximum port.

      The minimum port number value must be greater than 1024 and less than the value of the maximum port.

    • Agent maximum port — Specifies the maximum TCP port number for the agent.

      The maximum port number value must be greater than the minimum port + 1, and less than the maximum allowable port number on the system.

      For UNIX the maximum port number is 65534. For Windows the maximum port number is 32765.

    • Other arguments — Any other arguments for which there is no defined property available.
