Two utilities are provided with the Replication Agent:
ra – starts a Replication Agent instance, or returns the Replication Agent software version number.
ra_admin – allows you to create, copy, verify, and delete Replication Agent instances, or to list all verifiable, installed Replication Agent instances on a machine.
Replication Agent utilities are supplied as batch files for Windows platforms and as shell scripts for UNIX platforms. The utility files reside in the bin subdirectory, under the Replication Agent base directory.
On Windows platforms, when you execute a run script,
you can omit the extension ra -i my_ra.
However, on UNIX, you must always include the extension ra.sh
-i my_ra.
You can use the -help option with either the ra_admin or ra command line utility to obtain information about that utility.
