Building the reference environment

To automatically create a Replication Server, and the primary and replicate data servers and databases, execute the buildenv script.

Syntax

buildenv -f config_file 

Parameter

Use -f config_file to specify the name and location of the build configuration file that contains the parameters you can specify in the file.

Sybase provides configuration file templates for Adaptive Server to Adaptive Server and Oracle to Oracle replication on supported UNIX and Microsoft Windows platforms, that you can use to create a configuration file for your environment. The files are in $SYBASE/REP-15_5/REFIMP-01_0:

For example, the ase_unix_refimp.cfg file:
