Installing Mirror Replication Agent requires adequate disk space and RAM on the Mirror Replication Agent host machine. It also requires network connectivity to the primary database and the Replication Server, and local access to the mirror log devices.
See “System requirements” for more information about:
Platform and operating system requirements
Memory, disk space, and media device requirements
Compatibility with other Sybase products
See the Mirror Activator for Oracle Release Bulletin for additional current information about system requirements.
WARNING! Do not install the Mirror Activator for Oracle 12.6 software in the same installation directory with the following Sybase products:
Replication Server version 12.5 or earlier
Adaptive Server Enterprise version 12.5.0.x or earlier
Open Client™ or Open Server™ version 12.5.0 or earlier
OpenSwitch version 12.5 or earlier
DirectConnect version 12.5 or earlier
Doing so incapacitates these products, and it can adversely affect other Sybase products.
You cannot reverse this with an uninstallation, as that could remove some of the required components of the older Sybase products that were updated by installing Mirror Activator for Oracle version 12.6. For this reason, Sybase recommends that you back up your current Sybase installation directory before installing Mirror Activator for Oracle 12.6.
