Processing the rs_marker function

When rs_marker is executed, RepAgent processes it so that Replication Server synchronizes subscription materialization cycles and warm standby applications.

rs_marker is executed with one varchar(255) parameter named @rs_api. RepAgent passes the parameter to the Replication Server in a distribute command with the following syntax:

distribute command_tags param_string

For example, if a client executes rs_marker with the following command:

rs_marker @rs_api='0x1234567'

The Adaptive Server RepAgent submits the following command to the Replication Server:

distribute command_tags 0x1234567

Notice that the @rs_api parameter is not in quotes.
