Setting Up the SYBASE Environment Variable

After you install Replication Agent, but before you start it or run any Replication Agent utilities, set up the SYBASE environment variable on the Replication Agent host machine.

Set the value of %SYBASE% (Microsoft Windows) or $SYBASE (UNIX) to the Replication Agent installation directory.

  1. Log in to the Replication Agent host machine using an operating system user account with authority to start, stop, and administer the Replication Agent instance (for example, the “sybase” user).
  2. At the command prompt, execute the SYBASE batch or script file:
    • On Microsoft Windows:
      c:\path\SYBASE.bat
      where path is the Sybase installation directory, for example:
      c:\sybase\SYBASE
    • On UNIX:
      source path/SYBASE.csh
      where path is the Replication Agent installation directory.
