Become familiar with the various components of a replication environment.
In addition to Replication Server, the replication environment includes:
- A primary database, which is the source of data for
replication, and a replicate database, to which you replicate data.
To set up a test environment, either install identical copies of the pubs2
or pubs3 databases that come with Adaptive Server, or create copies of your own.
- Two Adaptive Server Enterprise data servers. The primary Adaptive
Server manages the primary database and the replicate Adaptive
Server manages the replicate database.
- Sybase Central™, the Sybase graphics-based management tool, and
Replication Manager, the Replication Server plug-in to Sybase Central,
Java Edition.
Note: Sybase Central and the Replication Manager plug-in are available on a
separate installer.
- The Embedded Replication Server System Database (ERSSD), which
stores information about the replication environment.
- Replication Monitoring Services (RMS), which is a middle monitoring layer that
provides monitoring services to replication environments.
