Sybase RAP – The Trading Edition Installation and Configuration

Today I had my first hands on Sybase RAP, one of the new projects which I am handling now; well as RAP I am also new to this, but could able to go ahead setting up the TRADING version on a Test server.Sybase website got good documents about RAP, but yea I found very few documents about Installation, configuration and setting up if compared with Oracle Products on google. Well it’s where I earn my bread so don’t want to compare Products, as for me both are same; difference is to understand the new architecture. After serving with Oracle Products for almost 6 years and continuing it’s been a change and an upgrade with technologies.
