Chapter 1: Introduction to the Replication Command Language

This chapter lists and summarizes the commands in each category. Some commands are included in multiple categories. For complete command syntax and usage information, see Chapter 3, “Replication Server Commands.”

For detailed information on datatypes, identifiers, reserved words, and support for Adaptive Server, see Chapter 2, “Topics.”

For an introduction to Replication Server architecture, see Chapter 1, “Introduction,” and Chapter 2, “Replication Server Technical Overview” in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1.

Some Replication Server procedures may require you to execute Adaptive Server system procedures such as sp_setreptable or sp_setrepproc. For complete syntax and usage information, see Chapter 5, “Adaptive Server Commands and System Procedures.”

The Replication Manager (RM) provides another way to perform many of the tasks that RCL commands perform. See Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1 for more information.
