Sybase Central is a graphical administration tool. The Replication Server plug-in to Sybase Central allows you to connect to an RSM Server. The RSM Server is an Open Server application that translates and responds to requests from Sybase Central and monitors and responds to replication system events.
With its easy-to-use interface, Sybase Central allows you to perform many administrative tasks that you would otherwise use RCL commands to perform, including:
Managing and monitoring the Replication Servers, data servers, and replication agents that make up a replication system
Managing replication system objects, such as users, routes, connections, replication definitions, and subscriptions.
Managing replication agents and heterogeneous servers
Performing diagnostics to troubleshoot the system
Receiving automatic notification or programmed response to system events
For a list of tasks that you can perform in Sybase Central, see the Replication Server plug-in help topic “Tasks and Concepts.”
