Installation details v7

Windows details

On Windows systems, the publication server and subscription server run as services named Publication Service and Subscription Service.

Linux details

On Linux hosts where you installed Replication Server with the graphical installer or from the command line, a publication server daemon and a subscription server daemon are now running on your computer, assuming you chose to install the publication server and subscription server components. If you installed the Replication Server RPM package, you must start the publication server and the subscription server based on the instructions in Registering a publication server for the publication server and Registering a subscription server for the subscription server.

Note

On some Linux systems, you might have to restart the server before you can see the EPRS Replication Console choice in the application menu. If the Replication Console choice is still unavailable in the application menu, you can start it by invoking the script XDB_HOME/bin/runRepConsole.sh.

Additional details

The Postgres application menu contains a new item for the EPRS Replication Console.

Note

If Replication Server is installed from a Replication Server RPM package, start the EPRS Replication Console by invoking the script XDB_HOME/bin/runRepConsole.sh.

During the configuration process, you might need the following files that are created during installation.
