Verifying Permissions

Verify the “sybase” user has write permission for the Sybase release directory.

See the Replication Server Installation Guide for your platform for more information about the “sybase” user.

  1. In the .cshrc or .profile file of the “sybase” user, set the SYBASE environment variable to the full path of the Sybase release directory. For example, if your path is /work/sybase, and you use the:
    • C shell – add this line to the .cshrc file:
      setenv SYBASE /work/sybase   

      At the shell prompt, enter:

      source .cshrc
    • Bourne shell – add this line to the .profile file:
      SYBASE="/work/sybase"; export SYBASE

      At the shell prompt, enter:

      . .profile
  2. Record the release directory on the worksheet.
    Note: In addition to $SYBASE, Replication Server uses environment variables for Replication Server—$SYBASE_REP, and Open Client/Server™— $SYBASE_OCS. See Replication Server Installation Guide > Postinstallation Tasks.
