Before running the test scripts, make sure that you have:
Installed a Microsoft SQL Server data server
Installed a data server to act as a standby data server
Created the standby database in the standby data server
Installed primary and standby Replication Servers (PRS and SRS)
The PRS and SRS can be the same Replication Server.
However,
if they are not, you must create routes between them.
Added the standby database as an SRS-managed database
Added an entry for Mirror Replication Agent to the interfaces or sql.ini file (if you intend to use the isql utility to administer Mirror Replication Agent).
Used the sybfilter driver to make the Microsoft SQL Server transaction log files readable by Mirror Replication Agent
Installed the Mirror Replication Agent software, created a Mirror Replication Agent instance, and used the ra_config command to set the following configuration parameters:
ra_config ltl_character_case, lower
ra_config rs_source_ds, mrx
ra_config rs_source_db, test
These recommended configuration parameter values are
for this test only. The values you should use in a production environment
(or even a different test environment) may be different.
Configured all the pds, rs, and rssd connection parameters and tested them successfully with the Mirror Replication Agent test_connection command
Confirmed that all servers are running
Confirmed that the Mirror Replication Agent instance is in the Admin state
