$SYBASE on both companions must point to the same directory path name. You can accomplish this by: Using a local release directory
for each companion. That is, you cannot use a global release directory for both companions.
Making sure the $SYBASE release directory on each companion is created in the same directory.
Creating a directory with the same path on both companions that acts as a symbolic link to the actual $SYBASE release directory, if the companions have the $SYBASE release directory in different locations,.
For example, even though primary companion MONEY1 has a release directory of /usr/u/sybase1 and PERSONEL1 uses /usr/u/sybase2 as its release directory, their $SYBASE must point to the same path.
Both MONEY1 and PERSONEL1 have /SYBASE, which they establish as a symbolic link to their respective $SYBASE release directories. On MONEY1, /SYBASE is a link to /usr/u/sybase1, and on PERSONEL1, /SYBASE is a link to /use/u/sybase2.
