New Agent Profile

Use the New Agent Profile dialog box to create a new profile. New profiles are always based on existing profiles, but they can be modified to meet application requirements. After a profile has been created, it can be applied to existing and future agent jobs in the Agent Profiles dialog box. Agent parameter values can be edited in the <AgentProfileName> Properties dialog box.

Options

• Name
  Enter a name for the profile.

• Description
  Enter a description for the profile.

• Parameter
  The agent parameters included in the profile. The profile on which the new profile is based does not necessarily specify a value for each parameter. To see all parameters that are valid for a given agent, clear the Show only parameters used in this profile check box. For descriptions of each parameter, see:

  • Replication Snapshot Agent
  • Replication Log Reader Agent
  • Replication Distribution Agent
  • Replication Merge Agent
  • Replication Queue Reader Agent

• Default Value
  The default value for each agent parameter.

• Value
  The value specified for the parameter in the profile on which the new profile is based. Edit this field for any parameter values you want to change.

• Show only parameters used in this profile
  Clear to show all valid parameters for a given agent.
