shell> ssh -i your-key.pem ec2-user@publicIPUpon connecting, you will see a welcome message, from here you can now connect as the tungsten user
shell> sudo su - tungstenThe launch wizard will start automatically and start prompting you for details regarding your source or target database.
It is advisable to configure the Extractor AMI first as you will need to provide details of the extractor when you configure the applier.
Once you have provided all the information to the wizard, you will be prompted on screen for the next steps.
In summary, the wizard will have completed the following:
Created tungsten.ini within /etc/tungsten
Created additional directories for software installation
Created additional configuration files depening upon target requirements
Created a log file of the Wizard execution within /home/tungsten/ami-launch/log
The latest version of Tungsten Replicator will be unpacked within /opt/continuent/software
The wizard does not install the software, this allows you to fine tune the configuration to suit your needs, such as adding additional filters, or adjusting memory and buffer allocations.
