RSM task	RMP task
Install Replication Server, RSM, and Sybase Central software. See the release bulletin and Replication Server Installation Guide for your platform. Identify the data servers you will use in your replication system. (If not already installed, install them using the installation guide for your specific data server.) Configure Replication Server using rs_init. See the Replication Server Configuration Guide for your platform. Configure an RSM Server. See the Replication Server Configuration Guide for your platform. If it is not already started, start the RSM Server. See the Replication Server Configuration Guide for your platform. Start Sybase Central. (See “Starting Sybase Central”.) If not already done during installation, register the Replication Server plug-in. For specific information, see the Replication Server Installation Guide. Connect to a configured RSM Server. For specific information, see “Connecting to an RSM Server or a replication environment”. In Sybase Central, select the RSM Server, then choose File \| Add Server to add the data servers and Replication Servers you want the selected RSM Server to manage.
