Setup for Replicate Databases

Replication Server provides a utility named rs_init, which sets up Adaptive Server databases.

rs_init sets up an Adaptive Server database as a primary or replicate database as follows:

Creates the Replication Server database connection
Creates the required tables and stored procedures in the replicate database
Defines the Replication Server maintenance user ID

Heterogeneous replication support does not include a utility that is equivalent to rs_init. Instead, Replication Server commands for creating connections, and primary and replicate data server commands for creating objects that did support replication including a maintenance user, may be used. In Replication Server 15.2, the introduction of the “using profile” clause of the create connection command may be used to accomplish many of these tasks.
