Installing Replication Server on SLES 12 x86_64 v7

  2. Select the button that provides access to the EDB repository.

  3. Select the platform and software that you want to download.

  4. Follow the instructions for setting up the EDB repository.

• Refresh the metadata:

  → WrapCopy

  sudo zypper refresh
