Defining the DSNs for the Databases

Before you define the active standby pair, define the DSNs for the active, standby, and read-only subscriber databases. On UNIX or Linux, create an odbc.ini file. See Configuring an Active Standby Pair With One Subscriber for an example.

Each database "name" specified in a replication scheme must match the prefix of the database file name (without the path) given for the DataStore data store attribute in the DSN definition for the database. To avoid confusion, use the same name for both the DataStore and Data Source Name data store attributes in each DSN definition. Values for DataStore are case-sensitive. For example, if the database path is directory/subdirectory/foo.ds0, then foo is the database name that you should use.
