Source database setup

Before configuring the Replication Server, you must create and configure a source database that contains the end-of-day historical market data that is replicated to the RAP VLDBServer Sybase IQ target database. In these instructions, Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise serves as the source database and the Replication Server System Database (RSSD), although another RDBMS can be used.

Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.0 is included in the Risk Analytics Platform package. See the Release Bulletin Risk Analytics Platform for the specific version requirements of Adaptive Server Enterprise.

Install Adaptive Server Enterprise as described in this manual. Sybase strongly recommends that you always check the online support Web site for the latest ASE software updates (ESD or EBF). See “Sybase EBFs and software maintenance” for more information.
