Creating Publications within RSM

Publications are used to replicate multiple source tables as a group. The process creates replication definitions for multiple source tables quickly. These are the steps for creating a publication:

  1. Using the RepServer's Sybase Central (3.2), connect to RSM with the sa user.

  2. Locate the Publication folder within the source database and select Add Publication.

  3. Enter a publication name at the top, highlight the desired source tables from the Available Items list, and select Add for each table.

  4. Highlight each table within the Selected Items list and select Edit to modify the replication definition parameters.

  5. Modify the replication definition name if desired, and specify the Replicate Table Owner if necessary.

  6. Define a primary key within the replication definition.

  7. Select the Column tab, highlight the desired primary key column from Selected Columns, and select the Column Properties button.

  8. Check off the Primary Key box and select OK to save.

    The graphic for the primary key column will be a key image.
