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.
