Pre-installation tasks
20 Replication Server
• HP-UX – SHLIB_PATH
• IBM AIX – LIBPATH
Set the environment variable as follows:
$SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib
If you do not set this environment variable, dsedit does not start, and an error
message reports that a shared library cannot be found. All libraries needed to
run
dsedit are in the $SYBASE/$SYBASE_OCS/lib directory. Use the
SYBASE.csh and SYBASE.sh files to set this environment variable. See “Set
environment variables” on page 41 for more information.
For more information on
dsedit, see Chapter 5, “Using dsedit” in the Adaptive
Server Enterprise Utility Guide.
Perform administrative tasks
This section describes administrative tasks that you must complete before you
begin the installation process.
1 Back up your current replication system.
2 Create the “sybase” user account and make sure it has
read, write, and
execute permissions. See “Creating the “sybase” user account” on page
20 for more information.
3 Verify that the directory location for the Sybase installation has sufficient
space.
4 Verify that your network software is configured.
Sybase software uses network software, even if Replication Server and
Sybase client applications are installed on a machine that is not connected
to a network.
5 If you are using an RSSD, verify that Adaptive Server Enterprise is up and
running.
Creating the “sybase” user account
To make sure that Sybase product files and directories are created with
consistent ownership and privileges, one user (typically the Sybase System
Administrator, who has
read, write, and execute privileges) should perform all
installation, configuration, and upgrade tasks.
