Configuring RMS for three-tier management support

Follow these steps to configure RMS:

1. Go to the %SYBASE% directory and run SYBASE.bat.

2. Go to Start | Programs | Sybase | Connectivity | Open Client Directory Service Editor. Using dsedit, add RMServices to the sql.ini file.

   • 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.bat.

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 sql.ini file resides by running the following command, where c:\Sybase is directory in which the sql.ini file resides:

   configure sybasehome=c:\Sybase

   The sql.ini 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.
