ratool Utility

Sybase recommends that you use RepConnector Manager to administer and configure connections. However, if you are performing batch processing, ratool, a command line utility, can be a useful alternative.

You can use ratool to start, stop, refresh, add, delete, and validate a connection; list all connections, and display status for the connection.

ratool is located in RepConnector_install_dir/repra/bin on Windows and RepConnector_install_dir\repra\bin on UNIX. To use ratool, either add repra/bin on Windows or repra\bin on UNIX to your path, or access it directly from this directory.
