Troubleshooting guide

Verifying the Version of the Microsoft Filter Manager Library
Confirm that the Microsoft Filter Manager Library version is 5.1.2600.2978 or later, to make
the primary transaction log files readable for Replication Agent.
1.
To determine the version of the library, in Windows Explorer, right-click c:\windows
\system32\fltlib.dll, select Properties, and click the Version tab in the
Properties dialog box.
2.
If the version is earlier than 5.1.2600.2978, go to the Microsoft Web site at
http://
www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx?ln=en-us
, and update
your Windows system.
Making the Primary Transaction Log Files Readable for Replication Agent
Install and set up the sybfilter driver so that Replication Agent can read the primary
transaction log files.
1.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the sybfilter driver installation directory. This
directory is located at %SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\system\<platform>, where
<
platform
> is winx86 or winx64.
winx64 is for 64-bit Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows
7.
winx86 is for 32-bit Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows
7.
winvistax64 is for Windows 7.
2.
Right-click the sybfilter.inf file to install the sybfilter driver.
Note: There can be only one installation of the sybfilter driver on a Windows
machine. After the driver is installed, it works for all Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL
Server instances running on the same machine.
3.
Under any directory, create a configuration file to store all log file paths for primary
databases. The configuration file must have a .cfg suffix. For example, under the
directory %SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\system\<platform>, create a file named
LogPath.cfg.
4.
Add a system environment variable named
RACFGFilePath
, and set its value to the path of
the configuration file.
a)
Open the Control Panel, click System, click the Advanced tab, and choose
Environment Variables.
b)
Click New to add a new system variable.
c) Name the variable
RACFGFilePath
, and set its value to the location of your
configuration file.
