Perform these tasks before using the Replication Agent utilities.
Prerequisites
-
Log in to the operating system on
the Replication Agent host machine with a user login that has execute permission
in the Replication Agent installation directory and all subdirectories
(for example, the “sybase” user)
-
Set the SYBASE environment before you invoke any
utilities
The SYBASE environment script is supplied as a batch file
for Microsoft Windows platforms (SYBASE.bat)
and as a shell script for UNIX platforms (SYBASE.sh or SYBASE.csh).
Task- Log in to the operating system on the Replication
Agent host machine with a user login that has the appropriate permissions.
- Open an operating system command window.
- At the operating system prompt, navigate to the Replication
Agent installation directory:
-
On Microsoft
Windows:
cd c:\sybase
where
c:\sybase is the
path to the Replication Agent installation directory.
-
On UNIX:
cd /opt/sybase
where
/opt/sybase is
the path to the Replication Agent installation directory.
- In the Replication Agent installation directory, invoke
the SYBASE environment script:
-
On Microsoft Windows:
SYBASE
-
On UNIX, for Bourne and Korn shells:
. SYBASE.sh
-
On UNIX, for C-shell:
source SYBASE.csh
Note:
On UNIX platforms, you can insert the source command
line in the .login file for the Replication
Agent administrator (or “sybase” user), so that
the SYBASE environment is set automatically when you log in to the
Replication Agent host machine.
