About Access Server

Access Server is the server application that directs communications between Management Console and CDC Replication replication engine processes.

After installing Access Server on a Linux® or Unix platform, you must start Access Server and create a user account. Also, if you are using a firewall or any other security mechanism that requires fixed ports, then you need to configure firewall settings.

If you want to use the CHCCLP simplified command line tool on a server other than the one on which Management Console or Access Server are currently installed and running, you can install copies of Access Server on any server from which you want to issue commands; the additional installations of Access Server do not need to be running for you to use the CHCCLP tool.
