Installation Verification

Verify that the installation was successful by confirming the creation of subdirectories and environment scripts.

If your installation of Replication Agent is successful, you see subdirectories in the Replication Agent installation directory (%SYBASE% on Microsoft Windows platforms and $SYBASE on UNIX platforms) for Replication Agent, and other specific software that the Replication Agent requires.

SYBASE Environment Scripts

The installation program also creates SYBASE environment scripts that set PATH and other environment variables on the Replication Agent host machine. These scripts allow you to run the Replication Agent software and its utilities from any directory on the host machine.

The SYBASE environment scripts are created in the Sybase installation directory and named:
  • SYBASE.bat on Microsoft Windows platforms

  • SYBASE.sh or SYBASE.csh on UNIX platforms

You can use these scripts to permanently set the environment variables, or you can use them to temporarily change environment variables by running (or sourcing) the scripts each time you log in to the Replication Agent host machine.
