Getting Started After Installing

After you install Replication Server Data Assurance (DA) Option, you need start the DA server and agents, isql, and create connection profiles.

1. Start the Data Assurance (DA) server and agents. Enter:
   • DA server
     • On Windows 32-bit

       %SYBASE%\DA-15_5\server\instance\RUN_instance_32.bat

     • On Windows 64-bit

       %SYBASE%\DA-15_5\server\instance\RUN_instance_64.bat

     • On UNIX 64-bit

       $SYBASE/DA-15_5/server/instance/RUN_instance_64.sh

   • DA agent
     • On Windows 32-bit

       %SYBASE%\DA-15_5\agent\instance\RUN_instance_32.bat

     • On Windows 64-bit

       %SYBASE%\DA-15_5\agent\instance\RUN_instance_64.bat

     • On UNIX 64-bit

       $SYBASE/DA-15_5/agent/instance/RUN_instance_64.sh

2. From isql, log in to DA server as an administrator:

   $SYBASE/OCS-15_0/bin/isql -S host:4501 -U da_admin -P password -w 250 

   where host is the name of the machine on which DA server is installed. DA server supports only one login, da_admin, which is assigned all administrator privileges. 4501 is the default TDS port number for DA server.
   Tip: To encrypt your password, use the -X option, for example:

   $SYBASE/OCS-15_0/bin/isql -S host:4501 -U da_admin -P password -X

   You can stop the DA server by issuing the shutdown command from the command line.
3. Create an agent connection profile with create agent (see the Replication Server Data Assurance Option Users Guide). An agent connection profile allows the DA server to use the standalone DA agents for database access.
   Note: You need not create connection profiles if you are using a single-server deployment.
4. Create a database connection with create connection (see the Replication Server Data Assurance Option Users Guide). A database connection profile specifies the primary and replicate databases to be compared.
