Verifying the Replication Agent Instance Installation
Verify that Replication Agent instance has been successfully installed.
Use dsedit to update
the Replication Server interfaces (UNIX or
Linux) or sql.ini (Windows) file to include
an entry for the Replication Agent location.
Note:
You can use any TDS client utility (isql, isqlApp,
or SQLAdvantage) that you prefer.
Verify the connection to the Replication Agent:
Open a command window in
the $SYBASE (UNIX or Linux) or %SYBASE% (Windows)
directory of your Replication Agent installation.
Set the environment variables by sourcing the SYBASE.csh file (UNIX
or Linux) or executing the SYBASE.bat file
(Windows).
Log in to Replication Agent:
isql –Usa –P –Smyra
Note:
These verification steps are optional because
they were performed when you verified the resource file.
Verify the Replication Agent connection to Replication
Server:
Enter:
test_connection RS
go
This result is returned:
Type Connection
---- ----------
RS succeeded
(1 row affected)
If the result indicates a failure, either the
server is not responding or the connection properties (host, port, user,
or password) are incorrect. Verify the host
and port configuration values, and manually log in to the Replication
Server as the configured user to determine which property is incorrectly
defined.
See the Replication Agent Administration Guide.
Verify the Replication Agent connection to the
primary IBM DB2 Universal Database:
Enter:
test_connection PDS
go
You see:
Type Connection
---- ----------
PDS succeeded
(1 row affected)
If the result indicates a failure:
The server is not responding, or
One of the connection properties is incorrect.
Manually log in to the primary IBM DB2 Universal Database
as the configured user to find which property is incorrectly defined.
See "Testing network connectivity" in the Replication Agent Administration Guide.
