Getting Started After Installing

After you install Replication Server Data Assurance (DA) Option, you need start the DA server and agents, isql, and create connection profiles.

Note: Replication Server DA versions 15.5 and later install into a directory named DA-15_5.
  1. Start the Data Assurance (DA) server and agents. Enter:
    • DA server
      • On Windows (32-bit and 64-bit)
        %SYBASE%\DA-15_5\server\<instance>\RUN_<instance>_32.bat
        %SYBASE%\DA-15_5\server\<instance>\RUN_<instance>_64.bat
      • On UNIX 64-bit
        $SYBASE/DA-15_5/server/<instance>/RUN_<instance>_64.sh
    • DA agent
      • On Windows (32-bit and 64-bit)
        %SYBASE%\DA-15_5\agent\<instance>\RUN_<instance>_32.bat
        %SYBASE%\DA-15_5\agent\<instance>\RUN_<instance>_64.bat
      • On UNIX 64-bit
        $SYBASE/DA-15_5/agent/<instance>/RUN_<instance>_64.sh
  2. From isql, log in to DA server as an administrator:
    $SYBASE/OCS-15_0/bin/isql -S myhost:4501 -U da_admin -P sybase -w 250
    Where myhost is the name of the machine on which DA server is installed. DA server supports only one login, da_admin, which is assigned all administrator privileges. 4501 is the default TDS port number for DA server.
    You can stop the DA server by issuing the shutdown command from the command line.
  3. Create an agent connection profile with create agent (see the Replication Server Data Assurance Option Users Guide). An agent connection profile allows the DA server to use the standalone DA agents for database access.
    Note: You need not create connection profiles if you are using a single-server deployment.
  4. Create a database connection with create connection (see the Replication Server Data Assurance Option Users Guide). A database connection profile specifies the primary and replicate databases to be compared.
