Perform administrative tasks

This section describes administrative tasks that you must complete before you begin the installation process.

  1. Back up your current replication system.

  2. Create the “sybase” user account and make sure it has read, write, and execute permissions. See “Creating the “sybase” user account” for more information.

  3. Verify that the directory location for the Sybase installation has sufficient space.

  4. Verify that your network software is configured.

    Sybase software uses network software, even if Replication Server and Sybase client applications are installed on a machine that is not connected to a network.

  5. If you are using an RSSD, verify that Adaptive Server Enterprise is up and running.
