Dr_agent - source and destination

Where to run dr_agent?

Hi, In order to start a replication from source to destination using fdb_dr, we will need to run dr_agent, just a couple of question regarding that. I have read in another post that we should run the dr_agent on both the source and destination cluster with the source and destination switched in the destination cluster? Is that correct? Thus on the source cluster: dr_agent -s source.cluster -d dest.cluster (where source.cluster and dest.cluster are the connect strings of the source and des…
