Installing Replication Server 15.2 in an existing directory that contains other Sybase products might result in Replication Server and the other Sybase products not working correctly. Before you install Replication Server in an existing directory, consider these points:
You can install Replication Server 15.2 in an existing Sybase installation directory if that directory contains Adaptive Server® Enterprise 15.0.x or Open Client/Server version 15.0. If you have newer versions of the locales or charset files, the installation program prompts you to specify whether to install older locales or charset files on top of newer files. To ensure that you have the latest version of these files, select “No to all.”
Replication Server 15.2 includes a new version of Replication Server and many of its supporting components. Other Sybase products may contain earlier versions of the same components. Installing Replication Server 15.2 into the same directory containing these existing products, will not impact the products.
However, if you are using other Sybase products, installing Replication Server 15.2 can cause some environment variables to change. Reset the environment variables to make the individual products work. For information about setting environment variables, see the Replication Server Installation Guide for your operating system.
You can install Replication Server 15.2 in the same
directory as Adaptive Server Enterprise and Open Client/Server
versions 12.5.1 or later.
If you install Replication Server 15.2 on a system that has Replication Server 15.0.1, Replication Server version 15.2 replaces version 15.0.1. If you require version 15.0.1, create a copy of the Replication Server 15.0.1 directory and subdirectories before installing version 15.2.
You can install Replication Server 15.2 on top of Replication Server 12.6 or later, in the same $SYBASE directory. Installing version 15.2 on top of Replication Server 12.6 or later creates a duplicate entry in the interfaces file for SAMPLE_RS, which is the sample Replication Server. rs_init warns you about the duplicate entry and uses the first instance of SAMPLE_RS found in the interfaces file.
If you have installed Replication Server 15.2 and Replication Server 12.6 or later in the same directory, Sybase recommends that you do not uninstall either version from this common directory.
When you uninstall Replication Server version 15.2, or
version 12.6 or later, the uninstallation program prompts you to
specify whether you want to delete files that have been modified
since installation. Select “No to all.”
