Before you install Replication Server, install the runtime libraries for the IBM XL C compiler. To verify that IBM XL C runtime packages are installed, issue: 
vacpp.rte-10.1.0-0
If the message is “package vacpp.rte-10.1.0-0 is not installed”, download the IBM XL C version 10.1 runtime executables from the IBM Web site at https:// www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24021253. Make sure that you select the appropriate installation package for your operating systems from the download table.

IBM AIX

  • AIX 6.1
  • AIX 7.1

Before you install Replication Server, install the IBM XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX and the SMP Runtime Libraries required for your version of AIX. Obtain the libraries from your IBM AIX operating system installation media.

These libraries are also available from the IBM AIX Web site:
  • The IBM XL C/C++ Runtime for AIX is available on the Web site under “Latest updates for supported IBM C and C++ compilers.”
  • The SMP Runtime Libraries for AIX are available on the Web site under “IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition for AIX, Runtime Environment and Utilities.”
To verify that the libraries are installed, issue:
source $SYBASE/SYBASE.csh
cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_REP/bin
ldd ./repserver

Solaris

  • Solaris 10
  • Solaris 11
VMware VSphere ESXi VSphere ESXi 5.0

Replication Server on Linux x64 and Solaris x64

On Linux: Linux distribution vendors often provide errata packages, allowing you to upgrade and fix known issues within a release. Contact your Linux distributor for more information.

If your operating system requires patches, install the patches before you install Replication Server components.

Contact your operating system representative for patches recommended for Replication Server installed on your system. Do not use a patch that is older than the version suggested for your operating system. Use the patch recommended by the operating system vendor even if the patch version supersedes the listed patch.

For a complete list of supported operating systems, see the Sybase Platform Certification Web site at http://certification.sybase.com/ucr/search.do.
