Use the create connection Command

To add a database for a non-ASE data server, use the create connection command with a connection profile specific to your non-ASE data server. To add a database for an Adaptive Server data server, you use Sybase Central or rs_init, both of which prepare the database for replication.

You can also use create connection for Adaptive Server data servers.

If you use create connection without a connection profile, you must prepare the database for replication yourself.

Enter create connection at the Replication Server that is to manage the database. The syntax is:

create connection to data_server.database
	using profile connection_profile;version
	set username [to] user
	[set error class [to] error_class]
	[set function string class [to] function_class]
	[set password [to] passwd]
	[set database_param [to] 'value']
	[set security_param [to] {‘required’ | ‘not_required’}]
	[with {log transfer on, dsi_suspended}]
	[as active for logical_ds.logical_db |
	as standby for logical_ds.logical_db]
	[use dump marker]
	[display_only]

You must use the with dsi_suspended clause, which starts the connection with the DSI suspended, when you create a connection to a database that will not be a replicate database.

The as active, as standby, and use dump marker clauses are used only when you create physical connections for a logical connection for a warm standby database. Only Adaptive Server and Oracle databases may be used in warm standby applications.

If your system supports network-based security, use the set security_param command.
