rs_init failed to build rep server using resource file due to char diffrence

[Former Member]

Hi,

Tried build replication server using resource file.But failed due char set difference.

ASE server using utf-8 and for replication server iso_1.

Same problem occurred where we build rep server using rs_init interactive mode and tried add used database into replication using resource file.

Left with no clue.Please assist.

Here purpose i am using resource file is to add below parameters as we have different id servers.I didn't find option while using rs_init interactive mode.

rs.rs_start_rs_id: 17000000

rs.rs_start_db_id: 300

Is there any way i can change/increase id generation counter to add new replication server into system.

I can think of one two things that might be causing it:

1) OCS was not installed correctly - check $SYBASE/charsets....you should have a directory with iso_1

2) It is having a conflict with RS installing as utf8, but some other part of the install is iso_1 (e.g. RSSD).

Unfortunately, you didn't include your resource file....

Check:

rs.rs_charset

$LANG

....if your $LANG says iso_1, try using sybinit.charset = utf8 at top of file.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply.

checked /$SYBASE/charset path iso_1 dir is found.

$LANG was set to utf8.

I encountered with same problem while trying to add database to replication system using resource file.

All i need is id for rep server should start from 170000000.

rs.rs_start_rs_id: 17000000

rs.rs_start_db_id: 300

I missed something in the first response that the resource file makes a bit clear - when you said the ASE was utf8, were you referring to the RSSD ASE (test_D14A_SYB)???    If so, that is your problem.   The RSSD *must* have the same charset/sortorder as the RS...   You either need to install the RS as utf8 as well or switch to the eRSSD (which is preferred anyhow - I rarely ever build RS's anymore with ASE RSSD's).
