Starting the sample Replication Server

NoteThe following is not available for HP Tru64 UNIX, Mac OS X, and SGI.

During installation, InstallShield asks you if you want to configure and start a sample Replication Server. InstallShield creates a resource file, $SYBASE/REP-12_6/samp_repserver/SAMPLE_RS.res, for the sample Replication Server and updates the interfaces file regardless of your choice. If you click No at that point during installation, you can still configure and start the sample Replication Server after installation using this resource file.

To create and start the sample Replication Server after installation, at the command prompt, enter:

$SYBASE/REP-12_6/install/rs_init -r 
    $SYBASE/REP-12_6/samp_repserver/SAMPLE_RS.res

The rs_init utility displays commands as it executes them, and writes this output to its log.

If you encounter errors during configuration and startup of the sample Replication Server, read this log file, $SYBASE/REP-12_6/init/logs/logmmdd.xxx

Where:

The sample Replication Server is configured using the SAMPLE_RS.res resource file. All files and logs associated with the sample Replication Server will be located in the directory $SYBASE/REP-12_6/samp_repserver.

Table 2-3 contains the sample Replication Server configuration information. Keep this information in a safe place for later reference.
