Installing the Replication Agent is a process that creates a directory structure containing the Replication Agent binaries, scripts, JRE, and associated files. There are no configuration steps during installation.
To install Replication Agent software
Use one of the following methods to install the software.
After following the download instructions from the SPDC Web site in the section “Accessing products from the SPDC Web site”, go to the location where you extracted the Replication Agent 15.1 for Sun Solaris installation image, or
Insert the Replication Agent CD into your CD drive.
Launch the installation program by executing the setup routine for Solaris:
./setup
If you see an error message saying that there is not enough temporary disk space, add the following to your setup command:
./setup –is:tempdir someDirectory
Here, someDirectory is a directory with at least 100MB of disk space that the installation program can use.
