CHAPTER 1 Before You Begin
To create a Sybase System Administrator account, choose an existing account, or create a new account and assign a user ID, group ID, and password for it. This account is sometimes called the “sybase” user account. See your operating system documentation for instructions on creating a new user account.
If you have already installed other Sybase software, the “sybase” user probably already exists. Verify that you can log in to the machine using this account.
SySAM pre-installation tasks
Before you install Replication Server, you must plan the type of SySAM license configuration you want to use. Depending on your configuration choice, you may also need to perform additional
In this section you:
1Choose the appropriate SySAM licensing configuration. SySAM allows you to acquire a license using a local file or you can acquire a license from a network license server. See “Choosing the appropriate license server configuration” on page 21.
2Install a new network license server if necessary. See “Installing a new license server” on page 22.
Choosing the appropriate license server configuration
Unserved configuration
Network license server configuration
When you configure your license server, you must choose between configuring for a local license file, or for a network license server.
If you are using an unserved configuration, the local licenses directory should contain all necessary licenses. You do not maintain a license server.
When you use an unserved configuration, you must activate the licenses for each machine separately; that is, you do not have centralized control over your licenses. You also do not have asset management or reporting capabilities, and your license must be rehosted if you move Replication Server from one machine to another.
In this setting, you can activate several licenses at once. You have full control over license use, and complete asset management and reporting capabilities.
