Configure Replication Server for replication to standby

This section describes the required configurations for Replication Server for replication to the standby ASE server.

1. If needed, add the standby server to the interfaces file of the Replication Server and reboot the Replication Server.

2. Go to the $SYBASE/MA-15_1/scripts/ase directory.

3. Make a copy of the ase_create_rs_standby_connection.rs file:

   cp ase_create_rs_standby_connection.rs myma_ase_create_rs_standby_connection.rs
   

4. Using a text editor, change these values in the newly-created standby script and save the script:

   • $SYBASE – enter the path name of the $SYBASE where the Replication Server resides, for example. /software/sybase. ($SYBASE occurs three times in the script.)

   • $SYBASE_REP – enter REP-15_1.

   • rds – name of the data server where the standby database resides.

   • rdb – name of the standby database.

   

   • If you are not using the SAMPLE_RS, change the SAMPLE_RS to the proper Replication Server name.

   • The value entered for rs.rs_ds_name and rs.rs_name must exist in the interfaces file used by the Replication Server. The names are case sensitive.

5. Using the rs_init utility in Replication Server, create the connection from the Replication Server to the standby database:

   $SYBASE/$SYBASE_REP/install/rs_init -r myma_ase_create_rs_standby_connection.rs
   

   The connection to the standby database is created.
