Installing Mirror Replication Agent requires adequate disk space and RAM on the Mirror Replication Agent host machine. The Mirror Replication Agent host also requires network connectivity to the primary database and the Replication Server, and local access to the mirror log devices.
Mirror Replication Agent for ASE and Oracle must be installed on a
machine from which it can directly access the ASE and Oracle transaction logs or
mirror copies of the transaction logs.
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 Replication Agent release bulletin for additional current information about system requirements.
WARNING! Do not install the Mirror Replication Agent 15.0 software in the same installation directory with the following Sybase products:
Replication Server® version 12.5 or earlier
Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 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 can adversely affect other Sybase products.
You cannot reverse this with an uninstallation, because that could remove some of the required components of the older Sybase products that were updated by installing Mirror Replication Agent 15.0. For this reason, Sybase recommends that you back up your current Sybase installation directory before installing Mirror Replication Agent 15.0.
