This section provides a checklist and description of the tasks that you perform before installing Replication Server. Detailed information for each of these tasks is described later in this chapter.
Planning your replication system. Identify the primary and replicate Adaptive Servers and the primary and replicate databases.
Checking system requirements. Make sure you are running a supported operating system and that you have sufficient space available to set up and run Replication Server.
Creating the Sybase user account, if one does not already exist.
Verifying your environment. Make sure that you have the proper user accounts and privileges.
Selecting an installation directory for Replication Server. It is important that you select an installation directory that is compatible with your existing Sybase software. This may involve installing Replication Server in an existing Sybase installation directory or in a completely new installation directory.
