Pre-installation tasks
18 Replication Server
Shared components are installed in subdirectories that are separate from
component subdirectories. For example, the Replication Server subdirectory is
$SYBASE/REP-15_0. However, Open Client is installed in
$SYBASE/OCS-15_0, and the Replication Manager plug-in for Sybase Central,
RMPlugin.jar and its associated files are installed in $SYBASE/RMP-15_0.
The exception is Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA), which is installed in
$SYBASE/REP-15_0/ASA9, as it is used only for Replication Server. As a
result, the directory structure enables you to install into an existing $SYBASE
directory structure, as well as to install and use multiple versions of some
components.
Note If your earlier installation includes custom applications or scripts that
refer to $SYBASE, change them to reflect the new installation directory
structure.
A diagnostic server REP-15_0/bin/repserver.diag is installed to capture and
display information about internal processes. Do not delete this program as you
may need to use it at the direction of Sybase Technical Support, to diagnose and
resolve Replication Server problems.
Note The directory structure listed in this section is a partial directory
structure. Your actual directory structure may differ, depending on the
components you choose to install.
