Starting a Replication Server

When you install a new Replication Server to your replication system, rs_init creates a runserver file in the Sybase installation directory. The runserver file is an executable script that contains the complete command line required to start a Replication Server.

The runserver file name is constructed based on the name of the server, truncated to eight characters, if necessary, and a .bat extension. For example, for a Replication Server named ROME_RS, the runserver file is named run_rome.bat.

Start-up sequence for servers

Start servers in this order:

  1. If the Replication Server uses RSSD in Adaptive Server Enterprise, start the Adaptive Server first.

  2. Replication Servers.

Starting servers at system boot

In a production system, you must start Adaptive Servers and Replication Servers, whenever your machine reboots. To do this, see your System Administrator.
