Identify the Replication Agent instance name, the administration port number, and the other administration information, and record it on the worksheet.
To complete Section 1 of the Installation and
Setup worksheet
Determine the instance type of the Replication Agent. This instance type determines which primary database server the Replication Agent will work with.
Instance types are:
ibmudb – IBM DB2 Universal Database (UDB)
mssql – Microsoft SQL Server
oracle – Oracle Database Server
Sybase Replication Agent for Oracle must be installed on a machine
from which it can directly access the Oracle redo logs.
Record the instance type as item 1a on the “Installation and Setup worksheet”.
Determine the name of the Replication Agent instance. This name should identify this specific instance.
Record the name of the instance as item 1b on the “Installation and Setup worksheet”.
Identify the client socket port number of the administration port for this Replication Agent instance. The port number must be unique on the Replication Agent host machine and have a range of 1 to 65,535.
If you are not the System Administrator for the system on which you are installing the Replication Agent instance, ask your System Administrator which port number you should use for the Replication Agent administration port.
Record the port number as item 1c on the “Installation and Setup worksheet”.
Replication Agent for Oracle requires two port numbers. The additional
one is for the RASD. By default, Replication Agent for Oracle assigns the
RASD port—admin port +1.
This number must also be unique on the Replication Agent host machine.
Determine the location of the interfaces file (sql.ini on Windows or interfaces on Linux and UNIX).
Use this item only if you plan to use the isql or jisql utility or Replication Manager (RM) to administer the Replication Agent instance.
The interfaces file must reside on the same machine
as the Replication Agent client (isql or Replication
Manager), not necessarily the Replication Agent host machine.
Record the interfaces file location as item 1d on the “Installation and Setup worksheet”.
Determine the administrative user ID and password for logging in to the Replication Agent administration port. Use this information to create the administrative user ID during configuration and setup.
See the Sybase Replication Agent Administration Guide for more information.
Record the administrative user ID as item 1e (admin_user) and the password as item 1f (admin_pw) on the “Installation and Setup worksheet”.
