After logging in to Replication Server, RepAgent sends a connect source command to identify itself. The command specifies the data server and database log RepAgent is forwarding, and the version of the LTL it proposes to use.
Here is the syntax for the connect source command:
connect source lti data_server.database version_no [sendallxacts] [warmstdb] [in recovery]
where data_server and database identify the data server and the database whose log is being forwarded by the RepAgent. The version_no parameter identifies the LTL version to be used with the connect source command.
Replication Agents and Replication Server negotiate the version of LTL to use for the session. This ensures that Replication Agents written for earlier versions of Replication Server remain compatible with more recent and current versions. Replication Server and LTL compatibility are listed in Table B-2.
