This section provides instructions on how to start rs_init. Enter the information from the Replication Server installation worksheet based on the preparation you did in Chapter 1, “Preparing to Install and Configure Replication Server.” Each section of the worksheet corresponds to a window or a menu in rs_init.
Log in to your machine as the “sybase” user.
You must run rs_init on
the machine on which the Replication Server will run.
Set the SYBASE environment variable to the path of the Sybase release directory, as described in the Replication Server Installation Guide.
Change to the Sybase release directory:
cd $SYBASE/$SYBASE_REP
Enter:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_REP/install/rs_init
You see the RS_INIT menu.
Choose Configure a Server Product, then choose Replication Server. From the Configure Replication System menu you can:
Install a new Replication Server – see “Configuring a new Replication Server”.
Add a database to your Replication System – see “Adding a database to the replication system”.
Upgrade or downgrade your software – see Chapter 3, “Upgrading or Downgrading Replication Server.”
Enable password encryption for a Replication Server or alter passwords in configuration files – see Chapter 4, “Using Password Encryption.”
