Sybase Real-Time Events using RepConnector and Replication Server deployment

Sybase Real-Time Events includes these subcomponents:

RepConnector Server – contains event capture, event transformation, and event sender modules.
Replication Server – detects business events that occur in the database and sends them to RepConnector Server.
Replication Agents – captures transactions in the heterogeneous database and transfers them to Replication Server.

RepConnector Manager is the graphical tool that enables you to set up RepConnector connection profiles and connections to Sybase Replication Server. This tool is provided as part of the Sybase WorkSpace installation.

Installation recommendations

Install messaging software on a separate machine.
Install Replication Agent for Oracle on the same server that contains Oracle database and Replication Agent for DB2 UDB for OS/390 on mainframe system that runs DB2. For other databases, you can install the appropriate Replication Agent on any server.
Depending on your deployment setup, you can install:
- Replication Server and RepConnector Server on separate machines.
- Replication Server and RepConnector Server on the same machine.
- Replication Server, RepConnector Server, and Replication Agent on the same machine as the data source. The Full installation option in the DI Suite installer enables you to install all Sybase Real-Time Events components on one machine.
