Configuring RMS for three-tier management support

Follow these steps to configure RMS:

  1. Go to the %SYBASE% directory and run SYBASE.bat.

  2. Go to Start | Programs | Sybase | Connectivity | Open Client Directory Service Editor. Using dsedit, add RMServices to the sql.ini file.

  3. To start RMS, go to the %SYBASE_UA%\bin directory and run agent.bat.

  4. To configure the RMS server, start an isql session by entering:

    isql -Usa -Psa_pwd -SRMServices

  5. To change the RMS password, enter:

    configure password=newPassword

    go

  6. Set the parameter sybasehome to the directory where the sql.ini file resides by running the following command, where c:\Sybase is the Replication Server directory (%SYBASE%):

    configure sybasehome=c:\Sybase

    This is required by RMS to find the sql.ini file. The sql.ini file contains the connection specifications for the servers added to an RMS domain.

  7. You can now start using the RMS API commands to monitor a replication environment. For example:

    add replication server SAMPLE_RS set username to sa

See Chapter 9, “Replication Monitoring Services API” of the Replication Server Reference Manual for API definitions.
