Creating the Sybase User Account

Create a Sybase user account to ensure that Sybase product files and directories are created with consistent ownership and privileges.

You must create a Sybase user account before you install the replication system components. A user, such as the Sybase system administrator— who has read, write, and execute privileges—must perform all installation and configuration tasks. For Windows, the user must have the Administrator privilege.

To create a Sybase system administrator account, choose an existing account, or create a new account and assign a user ID, group ID, and password for it.
This account is sometimes called the “sybase” user account. See your operating system documentation for instructions on creating a new user account.
If you have already installed other Sybase software, the “sybase” user already exists.
Verify that you can log in to the machine using this account.
