The replication environment is an object in Replication Manager that represents all servers that participate in replication. Your first step in setting up replication is to define the replication environment.
The Add Replication Environment wizard of the Replication Manager guides you through the steps necessary to add the Replication Server, the primary Adaptive Server, and the replicate Adaptive Server.
Record the user names and passwords that you define, as you will need this information later on.
