Installing Replication Server

If Replication Server is already installed go to “Installing ECDA Option for ODBC”.

While installing Replication Server:

Allocate a disk partition of at least 20MB for each Replication Server you are installing. You can add more partitions later, if necessary. Check each partition to make sure it is available and has write permissions.

Allocate the entire partition to the Replication Server. If you allocate only a portion of the partition to Replication Server, you cannot use the remainder for any other purpose.

Use one of the following methods to download Replication Server software:

After following the download instructions in “Accessing products from the SPDC”, go to the location where you extracted the Replication Server 15.2 installation image, or

Insert the Replication Server CD in your CD drive.
Execute the setup routine.
- For UNIX or Linux (GUI mode):
```
./setup
```
- For Windows:
```
setup
```
If you see an error message saying that there is not enough temporary disk space, add the following to your setup command:
- For UNIX or Linux:
```
./setup –is:tempdir someDirectory
```
- For Windows:
```
setup -is:tempdir someDirectory
```
Here, someDirectory is a directory with at least 100MB of disk space that the installation program can use.
On the Welcome window, click Next.
Select a geographic location that displays the license agreement. Select I agree, and click Next.
Enter the directory where you want to install Replication Server:
- If the directory does not exist, the installation program prompts you to create it. Click Yes.
- If the destination directory exists, you receive a warning message that you are installing into an existing directory. Click Yes.
Select Typical for the installation setup type, and click Next.
The installation program displays a summary of what is to be installed. Click Next.
The installation program starts to install Replication Server, displaying the progress status. You may see the following message:
```
There are newer files already installed. Do you want to replace them?
```
Click No to All.
When you receive a message indicating that Replication Server software has successfully installed, click Next.

This procedure uses the SAMPLE_RS Replication Server.
The SySAM License Server window opens and displays this prompt:
```
Will licenses be obtained from the License Server?
```
Respond based on how you set up your environment and use the license obtained from the Sybase Product Download Center (SPDC) Web site for Replication Server.

Click Next.
The SySAM notification window prompts you to configure your server for e-mail notification. When configuration is enabled, you receive information about license management events that require attention. Select Yes, and either accept the default values that are supplied, or enter the following values:
- SMTP server host name
- SMTP server port number
- Sender e-mail address
- Recipient e-mail address
- Message severity level of an event that triggers an e-mail message. Your choices are:
  - Informational
  - Warning
  - Error
If you choose not to have e-mail alerts or severity messages logged, select No.

Click Next.
To start a sample Replication Server, select Yes, and click Next.

This information appears and should be recorded:

This page contains detailed information regarding the sample Replication Server. Please record this information.

The sample Replication Server will be called SAMPLE_RS and will run on port 11752. It will be configured with a user of sa and no password.

The sample Replication Server will use an embedded RSSD called SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD that runs on port 11751. It will be configured with a user of SAMPLE_RS_RSSD_prim and a password of SAMPLE_RS_RSSD_prim_ps.

The installer has updated the appropriate interfaces file or sql.ini file.

All files and logs associated with the sample Replication Server will be located in the directory <samp_repserver>.

The sample Replication Server will be configured using the file <SAMPLE_RS.res>.

Here, <samp_repserver> and <SAMPLE_RS.res> are paths to the sample Replication Server and sample Replication Server configuration file, respectively.

Click Next.

When the sample Replication Server is running and an “Installation was successful” message appears, click Finish.
