About This Book

Audience	This book is for System Administrators and other qualified installers who
	are familiar with their system’s environment, networks, disk resources,
	and media devices.
How to use this book	Before you install Replication Server®, read Chapter 1, “Preparing to
	Install and Configure Replication Server” in the Replication Server
	Configuration Guide for UNIX to help you plan your installation.
	However, the step is unnecessary if you plan to install a sample
	Replication Server.
	This guide contains these chapters:
	• Chapter 1, “Before You Begin,” describes pre-installation
	information and tasks.
	• Chapter 2, “Installing Replication Server,” describes how to install
	Replication Server.
	• Chapter 3, “Post-Installation Tasks,” provides information about the
	tasks you must perform after installation.
	• Appendix A, “SySAM Administration,” provides additional
	information about licensing concepts that you need to know before
	you install additional copies of Replication Server, set up the license
	manager in a network environment, or set up redundant servers for
	high availability and failover.
Related documents	The Sybase® Replication Server documentation set consists of:
	• The release bulletin for your platform – contains last-minute
	information that was too late to be included in the books.
	A more recent version of the release bulletin may be available on the
	World Wide Web. To check for critical product or document
	information that was added after the release of the product CD, use
	the Sybase® Technical Library.
	• Installation Guide for your platform (this book) – describes
	installation and upgrade procedures for all Replication Server and
	related products.
