Configuring RMS for three-tier management support

Follow these steps to configure RMS:

  1. Navigate to the $SYBASE directory and source SYBASE.csh.

  2. Go to the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/bin directory and select dsedit to add the following entry to the interface file.

  3. To start RMS, go to the $SYBASE_UA/bin directory and run agent.

  4. To configure the RMS server, start an isql session by entering:

    isql -Usa -Psa_pwd -SRMServices

  5. To change the RMS password, enter:

    configure password=newPassword

    go

  6. Set the parameter sybasehome to the directory where the interfaces file resides by running the following command, where /software/Sybase is the directory in which the Sybase interfaces file resides:

    configure sybasehome=/software/Sybase

    The interfaces file contains the connection specifications for the servers added to an RMS domain.

  7. You can now start using the RMS API commands to monitor a replication environment. For example:

    add replication server SAMPLE_RS set username to sa

See Chapter 9, “Replication Monitoring Services API” of the Replication Server Reference Manual for API definitions.
