Instead of using rs_init interactively, you can use a resource file to install, configure, upgrade, or downgrade a Replication Server. Resource files are text files that you can modify with any text editor that can save ASCII format files. To create a resource file, copy and edit a template file supplied with the Replication Server software. Then execute rs_init with the -r command line option, specifying the resource file that rs_init is to use for input.
Sybase supplies several resource file templates for Replication Server. Each template contains the attributes that are valid for a certain rs_init operation.
The following are the Replication Server resource file templates. The templates are located in subdirectories of the init subdirectory of the Sybase installation directory:
