Preparing to use the utilities

Before you can invoke a Replication Agent utility, you must:

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).

StepsTo set the SYBASE environment

  1. Log in to the operating system on the Replication Agent host machine with a user login that has the appropriate permissions.

  2. Open an operating system command window.

  3. At the operating system prompt, navigate to the Replication Agent installation directory.

  4. In the Replication Agent installation directory, invoke the SYBASE environment script.

NoteOn UNIX platforms, you can insert the source SYBASE.sh command 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.
