The UDB FORCE APPLICATION command causes the data server to drop its connections with an application. The FORCE APPLICATION ALL command causes the data server to drop its connections with all applications.
If you invoke the FORCE APPLICATION command and specify either the Replication Agent application handle or the ALL keyword, the data server drops its connections with the Replication Agent instance. In that event, the Replication Agent receives UDB error code -30081 and cannot recover, so the Replication Agent instance shuts itself down.
To avoid this situation, invoke the Replication Agent shutdown command before using the UDB FORCE APPLICATION command.
