Create a Configuration File (UNIX/Linux)

A Repository Bridge configuration file contains all of your bridge configuration rules. You specify which objects you want to bridge in the configuration rules. You can create rule files manually, but we recommend that you use the bridgecfg command to create your bridging policy. If you do create a rule file manually, you can use the -f parameter to append the rules in the rule file to the configuration file.

See the sample configuration file, sample.tbc, in the $CAIGLBL0000/wv/config/bridge directory.

To create a bridge configuration file

  1. Open a command line on the computer where the source repository resides.
  2. Run the following command:
    bridgecfg [-f rule_file] [-c dest=desination_repository] [Ruserid=userid] [Rpassword=password] [Rinstid=instance_id] 
    

    For more information about specifying parameters, see the online CA Reference.

    You are prompted to choose rule options if you do not specify an existing rule file with the -f parameter.

    The names of the source repository and the destination repository name are saved in the configuration file. The bridge configuration file is saved as destination-name.tbc. Configuration files are written to $CAIGLBL0000/wv/config/bridge.

    Note: A field called vspactive is automatically created in your configuration file. It is not supported on UNIX/Linux, but it is there for compatibility with Repository Bridge on Windows.
