Creating the replication environment involves giving a name to your environment, creating an environment object, setting up permissions, and adding servers.
Creating a replication environment object
In Sybase Central, click the Replication Manager icon in the left pane of the Replication Manager window. The Add Replication Environment icon displays on the Details pane.
Double-click the Add Replication Environment icon in the right pane.
Enter the name of your environment and click Next.
Enter a user name and password that will let you access the environment. Click Next.
Java does not support the roman8 character set. Do not
select roman8 in the character set field for a server connection.
Do not select “default” in the character set field
for a server connection if the server default is roman8. You must
select another character set that is compatible with the server
and Replication Manager.
From the list of servers, select the ones to add to your environment, then add a user name and password for each. If you are adding a Replication Server, enter a user name and password for the RSSD. Click Next.
When adding servers, you must provide a user name and password that have been granted certain permissions:
Replication Server – sa permissions.
Adaptive Server Enterprise – the sa_role and the sso_role.
Replication Server RSSD – the database owner.
You can either select a server from the list or enter
a server name, host, and port number. This list is from the interfaces
file found in the $SYBASE directory.
Check the summary page to make sure you have added all the servers you need. Then click Finish.
You are not required to add all servers when you create
the environment. You can add new servers to an existing environment
by using the Add Server wizard.
The new environment object displays in the left pane under the Replication Manager object with the name you assigned.
If you update the sql.ini or interfaces
file while Sybase Central is running, you need only restart the
wizard, or reopen any dialog box in progress. You need not restart
Sybase Central for the changes to take effect.
Dropping a server from a replication environment
in Sybase Central
Select the server you want to drop.
Do one of the following:
Click the Delete icon from the toolbar.
Right-click the selected server, select Delete.
Although Sybase Central removes the server from the
replication environment’s server list and removes the server
icon from the environment, the server is not removed from your replication
system. If there are routes or database connections still associated
with a deleted server, the server name may still appear in dialog
boxes.
