Creating a Replication Environment Object

Use Replication Manager to create a replication environment object.

1. 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.
2. Double-click the Add Replication Environment icon in the right pane.
3. Enter the name of your environment and click Next.
4. Enter a user name and password that will let you access the environment. Click Next.
   Note: 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.
5. 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.

   Note: 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.
6. Check the summary page to make sure you have added all the servers you need. Then click Finish.
   Note: 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.
