Release Directory

The release directory—also called the installation directory—is where you install Replication Server.

The first eight characters of the Adaptive Server and Replication Server names must be unique on your network. Replication Server creates a new directory structure that allows you to use multiple versions of some components.

You can install Replication Server version 15.7 in the existing directory structure of Replication Server version 12.0 and later.

• SQL Server or Adaptive Server Installation in the Same Directory
  Replication Server is usually installed in the same %SYBASE% directory as other Sybase software, which allows the products to share common files and simplifies management of the interfaces file (sql.ini) used by all servers and client programs.
• Choosing a Sybase Installation Directory
  Consider where you want to install the Sybase software.
• Installing in a New Release Directory
  Install Sybase software in a new directory without any other Sybase software products for a clean setup.
