When you install Replication Server in an existing Sybase installation directory, the installer adds Replication Server information to the existing interfaces file. When you install Replication Server in a unique installation directory, the installer creates a new interfaces file. In this instance, you will have two interfaces files—one for your existing Sybase applications and one for Replication Server.
To allow the Adaptive Servers and Replication Server to communicate, you must use the dsedit utility to:
Add an entry for Replication Server in the Sybase interfaces file used by the Adaptive Servers
Add entries for the primary and replicate Adaptive Servers in the Replication Server interfaces file
You will need this information for each server:
Server name
Host name
Port number.
Use dsedit to add an entry for Replication Server in the Adaptive Server interfaces file. See the Adaptive Server Enterprise Utility Guide for instructions.
To add entries for the primary and replicate Adaptive Server in the Replication Server interfaces file, perform the following steps:
Follow directions for your platform.
On Windows:
Navigate to %SYBASE%\OCS-15_0\bin.
On UNIX:
Navigate to $SYBASE/OCS-15_0/bin.
On Windows:
Double-click dsedit.exe.
On UNIX:
Enter the following command:
