Before you begin setting up the replication system, you should be familiar with the Microsoft SQL Server data server and have an understanding of Sybase replication. In addition, these conditions must be met:
ECDA for ODBC is installed on the same host as your replicate Microsoft SQL Server database.
Replication Agent is installed on the same host as your primary Microsoft SQL Server database.
You have obtained the licenses for the Replication Server and Replication Server Options.
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2, with database compatibility set to 2005(90), is installed and configured to serve as the source (primary) database and as the target (replicate) database from which Replication Agent replicates transactions.
Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver 1.2 is installed.
TCP/IP connectivity is available.
During this procedure:
Because Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server is limited to the Microsoft Windows platform, all examples shown are for Windows.
On Windows Vista, you must be logged in as an Administrator.
Sybase recommends that you do not use Replication Server reserved words for object names and connection names. A complete list of reserved words are documented in Chapter 2 of the Replication Server Reference Manual.
