Creating a SAMPLE_RS

Create a SAMPLE_RS and SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD when the directories or files do not exist.

If the SAMPLE_RS directories already exist, go to Refreshing a SAMPLE_RS section.
  1. Go to the SAP Replication Server installation directory. This is one directory level above where REP-15_5 resides. This is the value for $SYBASE.
  2. Set the environment variables by sourcing the SYBASE.csh file.
  3. Edit the interfaces files and add these entries:
    SAMPLE_RS
   master tcp ether localhost 11752
   query tcp ether localhost 11752
#
SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD
   master tcp ether localhost 11751
   query tcp ether localhost 11751
    Change localhost to the name of the host machine.
    Warning!  There can only be one SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD on a host machine.
  4. Go to $SYBASE/REP* directory.
  5. Create a directory called samp_repserver.
    mkdir samp_repserver
  6. Go to the samp_repserver directory.
    cd samp_repserver
  7. Create a directory called samp_partition.
    mkdir samp_partition
  8. Create a file called SAMPLE_RS.res like the following with these modifications:
    In the values of the parameters, the $SYBASE must reflect the actual name of the path as rs_init cannot utilize environment variables.
    Parameter Description
    sybinit.release_directory The actual path or value of $SYBASE
    rs.rs_idserver_pass Valid password
    rs.rs_rssd_prim_pass Valid password
    rs.rs_rssd_maint_pass Valid password
    rs.rs_ltm_rs_pass Valid password
    rs.rs_rs_sa_pass Valid password
    rs.rs_rs_run_file Valid file and path that will used to start up SAMPLE_RS. $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver/RUN_SAMPLE_RS is the suggested location and file name.
    rs.rs_rs_errorlog Valid file and path that will used SAMPLE_RS log file. $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver/SAMPLE_RS.log is the suggested location and file name.
    rs.rs_rs_cfg_file Valid file and path that will used SAMPLE_RS configuration file. $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver/SAMPLE_RS.cfg is the suggested location and file name.
    rs.rs_erssd_database_dir Valid path where the ERSSD database will be located. $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver/dbfile is the suggested location.
    rs.rs_erssd_translog_dir Valid path where the ERSSD database transaction log will be located. $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver/log is the suggested location.
    rs.rs_erssd_backup_dir Valid path where the ERSSD backups, including the mirror log, will be located. $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver/backup is the suggested location.
    rs.rs_erssd_errorlog_dir Valid path where the ERSSD log will be located. $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver/errorlog is the suggested location.
    rs.rs_diskp_name Valid file and path that will be used for the stable device. The file does not have to exist, however, the directory path must exist. $SYBASE/REP-15_5/samp_repserver/samp_partition/partition1 is the suggested location.
    rs.rs_rs_pass Valid password
    See the table for description of the parameters that do not have values in the following resource file and provide their values based on the description.

  9. Use rs_init to execute this resource file:
    $SYBASE/REP-15_5/install/rs_init -r SAMPLE_RS.res -T T_SEND_CLEARTEXT_PASSWORD

    If the creation of the SAMPLE_RS fails:

    1. Correct the error.
    2. Stop the SAP Replication Server if it is running.
    3. Remove the files in these directories:
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/backup/SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD.db
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/backup/SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD.log
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/backup/SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD.mlg
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/dbfile/SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD.db
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/errorlog/SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD.out
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/log/SAMPLE_RS_ERSSD.log
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/RUN_SAMPLE_RS
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/SAMPLE_RS.cfg
      • $SYBASE/REP*/samp_repserver/SAMPLE_RS.log
    4. Rerun rs_init.
  10. Verify that the SAMPLE_RS is available. Log in to the SAMPLE_RS.
    isql -Usa –Ppassword -SSAMPLE_RS

    The password to the sa user ID is the value that was filled in the resource file for rs.rs_rs_sa_pass.

  11. Enter:
    admin who
go
  12. End the session by exiting from the isql client.
    exit
go
