Determine the values of the connection parameters for Replication Server. These values are used in the Replication Server create connection command when you create the database connection for the primary database.
See “Setting up connectivity to the primary database” for more information about using the Replication Server create connection command.
To complete Section 2 of the Installation and
Setup worksheet
Identify a data server name and a database name representing the primary database connection for the Replication Server.
For ASE primary databases, the data server name is equal to the interfaces file entry name used to identify the ASE server. The database name is the name of the database to be replicated.
For Oracle, any values can be used. Sybase recommends using the host machine name for data server name, and Oracle SID for the database name.
Record the data server name as item 2a (rs_source_ds) and the database name as item 2b (rs_source_db) on the Installation and Setup worksheet on page §.
These names are case sensitive.
Identify the Maintenance User ID and password associated with the Replication Server database connection to the primary database.
The Maintenance User ID must be a valid user ID at the primary database.
The Maintenance User ID must not be the user ID of a
primary database user who applies transactions that might need to
be replicated.
Record the Maintenance User ID as item 2c (Maintenance User) and the password as item 2d (Maintenance User password) on the Installation and Setup worksheet on page §.
