The Repgen General folder tab contains fields
for entering site-wide information regarding the replication setup.
field: Client Name
The Client Name information appears in each file to customize the output
for the client for which the scripts are being written. Some clients
require a copyright notice placed into their files, therefore this is
also done.
field: File Version
As a project progresses, it may be necessary to create different versions
of the scripts to account for changes that are made to the database.
This version number is used as part of the naming methodology used when
creating each file to allow multiple versions of the output files to
reside in the save directory without being overwritten.
field: CSI#
The CSI# is used only for documentation purposes within the repdoc.txt
file. The repdoc.txt file provides a summary of the replication configuration
process and troubleshooting commands. The CSI# and phone# for Oracle
Worldwide Technical Support is provided as a convenience in case this
info is needed in an emergency.
field: Output Directory - Browse button
This field shows the output directory where the generated files will
be written on the computer running the graphical interface. The browse
button presents the user with a dialog box to select this directory
location.
field: Email Sender
This is the email account which will be put into the "From:"
field of the email messages sent from the replication_check procedure.
It may be helpful to use the hostname of the master def replication
site, if this is where the procedure is installed.
field: Mail Server
This field should contain the DNS name or IP address of the mail server
which the database server will be able to access. This information is
used within the eplication_check procedure to send status reports to
the DBA if there are problems with replication.
field: DBA Email
One, or more email addresses can be put into this field. Each email
address should go onto a separate line within the field (separated by
a return key). These email addresses will receive the status reports
from the standby server monitoring script.
