In addition to Replication Server, the replication environment includes the following components:
Two databases: a primary database, which is the source of data for replication, and a replicate database, to which you replicate data.
For setting up a test environment, install identical copies of the pubs2 or pubs3 databases that come with Adaptive Server. However, you can use your own identical databases.
Two Adaptive Server Enterprise data servers. The primary Adaptive Server manages the primary database and the replicate Adaptive Server manages the replicate database.
Sybase Central, the Sybase graphics-based management tool, and Replication Manager, the Replication Server plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition.
Sybase Central and Replication Manager plug-in are available
on a separate installer.
The Embedded Replication Server System Database (ERSSD), which stores information about the replication environment.
Replication Monitoring Services (RMS), a middle monitoring layer that provides monitoring services to a large and complex replication environment.
