Start-up requirements

Before you can start a Replication Agent instance and connect to the primary database server, you must add the location of the JDBC driver for the primary database to the CLASSPATH environment variable.

See the Sybase Replication Agent Installation Guide for more information about installing and setting up the JDBC driver for the primary database and setting up Replication Agent connectivity.

Oracle requirements

If the primary database resides on an Oracle server, the TNS Listener Service must be installed and running on the primary database so the Replication Agent instance can connect to it.

See the Oracle networking guide for more information about TNS.

DB2 Universal Database requirements

If the primary database resides on a DB2 Universal Database server on a UNIX platform, you must set the UNIX environment variables before you start the Replication Agent instance.

See the Sybase Replication Agent Installation Guide for more information about setting the UNIX environment variables.
