Configuring RMS for three-tier management support

Follow these steps to configure RMS:

1. Navigate to the $SYBASE directory and source SYBASE.csh.

2. Go to the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin directory and select dsedit to add the following entry to the interfaces files.

   • Server Name – RMServices.

   • Port – 32008.

   • Hostname – host name of the machine on which RMS will run.

3. To start RMS, go to the $SYBASE_UA/bin directory and run agent.

4. To configure the RMS server, start an isql session by entering:

   isql -Usa -Psa_pwd -SRMServices

5. To change the RMS password, enter:

   configure password=newPassword

   go

6. Set the parameter sybasehome to the directory where the interfaces file resides by running the following command, where /software/Sybase is the directory in which the Sybase interfaces file resides:

   configure sybasehome=/software/Sybase

   The interfaces file contains the connection specifications for the servers added to an RMS domain.

7. You can now start using the RMS API commands to monitor a replication environment. For example:

   add replication server SAMPLE_RS set username to sa

See Chapter 9, “Replication Monitoring Services API” of the Replication Server Reference Manual for API definitions.
