You must set the SYBASE environment before you invoke the Replication Agent administrator utility. See “Preparing to use the utilities” for more information.
Starting a Replication Agent instance using Administrator
The administrator utility must be running before you use it to start a Replication Agent instance. See “Starting the Administrator GUI”.
Select the Replication Agent instance or instances you want to start in the list of instances. Click Start.
Administrator provides a dialog box asking you to confirm that the appropriate JDBC driver is specified in the CLASSPATH environment variable. Click Yes to continue.
If the appropriate JDBC driver is not listed in the
CLASSPATH environment variable, you can start the Replication Agent
instance, but it is not able to establish a connection to the primary
database server.
Click Start.
The Replication Agent window indicates that the instance you selected is running:
You may need to click Refresh to see if the Replication
Agent instance is running.
On Windows, a console window opens for each Replication Agent instance you selected to start.
On UNIX, each Replication Agent instance you selected is started in the background.
For all platforms, the Replication Agent is started in Admin state using the ra_auto script, which is located in the RAX-15_2/bin directory. During start-up, standard error output is redirected to the error.log file, which is located in the Replication Agent instance log directory. After start-up, standard error and standard output directed to the <instance>.log file in the <instance>/log directory.
If you try to start a Replication Agent instance with
the same administration port number as an instance that is already
running, Replication Agent aborts the process and logs an error
message in the system log.
If the instance you try to start does not run, check the instance log to see if an error occurred. See “Examine the Replication Agent logs”.
Click Done to exit the Administrator GUI window.
