After you have installed and configured Replication Server, the Replication Server plug-in to Sybase Central, and RSM Server software:
Start Sybase Central and connect to an RSM Server.
Set up a new RSM Server domain by adding the data servers, Replication Servers, and Sybase Replication Agents that you want the RSM Server to manage.
An RSM Server domain is the set of servers that a specific RSM Server can monitor and manage. A domain typically contains the servers of a replication system and may also include other RSM Servers.
After you have installed and configured Replication Server and Replication Manager plug-in to Sybase Central, Java edition:
Start Sybase Central.
Create a new replication environment, which consists of all the Adaptive Server Enterprise servers and Replication Servers that participate in replication, along with the databases and the data contained within the databases.
Configure your new environment by adding the data servers and Replication Servers that you want to manage.
After you have created an environment, Sybase Central displays a two-paned window that contains icons for the servers managed in the environment. (See Figure 3-1.) Use this window to monitor the status of the servers and to execute menu commands that let you diagnose and manage the servers and other components of your replication system.

From Sybase Central, you can manage geographically distributed components of a replication system, whether the servers in the system are local or distributed around the world.
For a list of tasks that you can perform using the Replication Server plug-in and Replication Manager, see Table 3-3 and Table 3-4.

If you are already familiar with Sybase Central, see “Managing a replication system” for instructions specific to using Sybase Central with Replication Server.
