Drag-and-drop is a quick way to populate the topology view in the Replication Server plug-in.
This feature is available in Replication Server plug-in
only.
To drag and drop an icon from the tree view to the topology view:
Open the Topology folder and select File | New| Topology View.
Enter a unique name for the new topology view in the Create Topology View dialog box.
Double-click the new topology view icon to open the view window.
Place the cursor on top of an icon in the tree view in the left pane of the Sybase Central window.
Press and hold the left mouse button.
Continuing to hold the button down, move the mouse to drag the icon and drop it in the topology view window.
As you drag the icon, a faint image of the icon travels across the screen, along with the illegal drop symbol (a circle with a diagonal line through it) that indicates that you cannot yet legally drop the icon. When the icon reaches its target location, the illegal drop symbol disappears, and you can release the mouse button (unless your intended target is illegal, in which case, you cannot complete the drag-and-drop operation).
If you drag an object and the ghost image of the object has the illegal drop symbol on it, it means the object is not in a place where you can drop it.
Release the mouse button. A object icon for that object is displayed in the topology view window.
