Verifying the services Files on All Computers

About this task

On each computer that participates in replication, make sure that the services file contains entries for all the database servers.

To verify the services files on all computers:

Procedure

  1. Check the services file on the first host (for example, host1).
    The file might look like this:
    techpubs27     4599/tcp     # service for online instance denver
    techpubs28     4600/tcp     # service for online instance boston
  2. Check the services file on the second host (for example, host2).
    The file should look the same as the file on host1:
    techpubs27     4599/tcp     # service for online instance denver
    techpubs28     4600/tcp     # service for online instance boston
