Performing Administrative Tasks

Complete the administrative tasks before you begin the installation process.

1. Back up your current replication system.
2. Create the “sybase” user account and make sure it has read, write, and execute permissions.
3. Verify that the directory location for the Sybase installation has sufficient space.
4. Verify that your network software is configured.
   Sybase software uses network software, even if Replication Server and Sybase client applications are installed on a machine that is not connected to a network.
5. If you are using an RSSD, verify that Adaptive Server Enterprise is up and running.

• 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.
