To prepare for a two-tier solution:
Install the Replication Server and Sybase Central software. See the release bulletin and Replication Server Installation Guide for your platform.
Identify the data servers to be used in your replication system. If the data servers are not yet installed, do so using the installation guide for your specific data server.
Use rs_init to configure the Replication Server. See the Replication Server Configuration Guide for your platform.
Start Sybase Central. See “Starting Sybase Central”.
In Sybase Central, create a replication environment and add the data servers and Replication Servers.
Replication Manager does not require a Sybase interfaces file, but you have the option to use it.
