Server Entries to the Interfaces Files

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:

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

For each server, you need:

Server name
Host name
Port number

Adding Server Entries to the Interfaces Files
Use dsedit to add entries for the primary and replicate Adaptive Server in the Replication Server interfaces file.
