Starting rs_init

Run rs_init and provide the information from the Replication Server installation worksheet.

Each section of the worksheet corresponds to a window or a menu in rs_init. You can also start rs_init with other command line options for your replication environment.

  1. Log in to your machine as the “sybase” user.
    Note: You must run rs_init on the machine on which the Replication Server will run.
  2. Set the SYBASE environment variable to the path of the Sybase release directory, as described in the Replication Server Installation Guide.
  3. Change to the Sybase release directory:
    cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_REP
  4. Enter:
    $SYBASE/$SYBASE_REP/install/rs_init
  5. Choose Configure a Server Product, then Replication Server. From the Configure Replication System menu you can:
    • Configure a new Replication Server.
    • Add a database to the replication System.
    • Upgrade or downgrade Replication Server.
    • Enable password encryption for a Replication Server or alter passwords in configuration files.
