This section describes how to do these tasks, which are common to most Sybase Central objects:
Create an object
View an object’s properties
Delete an object
You can create new replication definitions, subscriptions, connections, and other Replication Server objects in Sybase Central.
To create an object:
Select the folder for the type of object you want to create.
Select File | New.
From the cascading menu, choose the object name.
One of the following occurs:
If a wizard exists to help you create the object, the wizard opens. Respond to the wizard prompts.
If no wizard exists, a property sheet displays. Fill in the information for the new object.
After you create an object, it is represented by an icon in any pane of the Sybase Central window. You can display or update the object by opening its Properties dialog.
A Properties dialog contains information about the object and how it relates to other objects in the replication environment. The Properties dialog can also provide a direct navigation path to its related objects. It enables you to enter information for a new object on tabbed pages.
The Properties dialog box generally has three tabs.
General tab – displays all status.
Communications tab – displays information on how Replication Manager communicates with the server.
Parameters tab – displays and allows modification to configuration parameters for servers and components.
Some Properties dialogs may have different tabs. For
example, a connection has General, Security, and Parameters tabs.
To view an object’s properties:
Select the object icon.
Select File | Properties.
To delete an object:
Select the object icon.
Select Edit | Delete.
Confirm the deletion in the confirmation dialog.
