Installing Sybase Replication Agent requires adequate disk space and RAM on the Sybase Replication Agent host machine. The Sybase Replication Agent host also requires network connectivity to the primary database and the Replication Server, and local access to the mirror log devices.
Sybase Replication Agent for Oracle must be installed on a machine from
which it can directly access the Oracle redo logs.
See “System requirements” for more information about:
Platform and operating system requirements
Memory, disk space, and media device requirements
Compatibility with other Sybase products
See the Sybase Replication Agent release bulletin for additional current information about system requirements.
WARNING! Do not install the Sybase Replication Agent 15.0 software in the same installation directory with the following Sybase products:
Replication Server® version 12.5 or earlier
Adaptive Server® Enterprise (ASE) version 12.5.0.x or earlier
Open Client™ or Open Server™ version 12.5.0 or earlier
OpenSwitch version 12.5 or earlier
EnterpriseConnect™ Data Access (or DirectConnect™) version 12.5 or earlier
Doing so incapacitates these products and can adversely affect other Sybase products.
You cannot reverse this with an uninstallation, as that could remove some of the required components of the older Sybase products that were updated by installing Sybase Replication Agent 15.0. For this reason, Sybase recommends that you back up your current Sybase installation directory before installing Sybase Replication Agent 15.0.
