Configure and start the sample Replication Server

During installation, the installer prompts you if you want to configure and start a sample Replication Server. Regardless of your choice, the installer creates a resource file, %SYBASE%\REP-15_5\samp_repserver\SAMPLE_RS.res, for the sample Replication Server and updates the sql.ini file. If you selected No, you can still configure and start the sample Replication Server after installation using this resource file.

To create and start the sample Replication Server after installation, at the command prompt, enter:

cd %SYBASE%\REP-15_5\samp_repserver
rs_init-SAMPLE_RS.bat

A setup window displays the status of configuration and the rs_init utility in this script displays commands in the DOS window as it executes them, then writes this output to its log.

If you encounter errors during configuration and start-up of the sample Replication Server, you can read this log file, %SYBASE%\REP-15_5\init\logs\logmmdd.xxx, where:

The sample Replication Server is configured using the SAMPLE_RS.res resource file. All files and logs associated with the sample Replication Server are in the directory %SYBASE%\REP-15_5\samp_repserver.
