When you start the Replication Agent with ra, you can
specify the instance start-up state. If you do not specify a start-up state when you invoke
ra, the Replication Agent instance starts in its
default Admin state.
Prerequisites
Set the SYBASE environment before you invoke ra.
Task- On the
Replication Agent host machine, open an operating system command window.
- Navigate to the Replication
Agent bin directory:
-
On
Windows platforms: cd %SYBASE%\RAX-15_5\bin
where %SYBASE% is
the path to the Replication Agent installation directory.
-
On UNIX platforms: cd $SYBASE/RAX-15_5/bin
where $SYBASE is the path
to the Replication Agent installation directory.
- In the Replication Agent bin directory, invoke ra
to start the Replication Agent instance:
ra -iinst_name
or
ra -iinst_name -state
where:
-
inst_name is the server name
of the Replication Agent instance.
-
state is the optional keyword
for the start-up state:
Note:
If you do not specify the state option,
Replication Agent starts in Admin state.
For example, to start the Replication Agent instance named
“my_ra” in Replicating state, enter:
ra -i my_ra -replicate
After you start the Replication Agent instance, you must open
another operating system command window to log in to its administration
port.
