Logging in to a Replication Agent Instance Using isql

You can use the isql interactive SQL utility to log in to the Replication Agent administration port.

Prerequisites

Before you can log in to the Replication Agent administration port with an Open Client application (such as isql), create a server entry for the Replication Agent instance in the interfaces file.

Task
  1. Open an operating system command window.
  2. Set your environment variables by sourcing the SYBASE.csh file (UNIX or Linux) or by executing the SYBASE.bat file (Windows).
  3. At the operating system prompt, enter:
    isql -Uusername -Ppassword -Sinst_name
    where:
    • username is the Replication Agent administrator login.

    • password is the corresponding password.

    • inst_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance.

    For example, to log in to a new Replication Agent instance named “my_ra,” enter:
    isql -Usa -Ppassword -Smy_ra

Once you have successfully logged in to the administration port, you can use Replication Agent commands to administer the Replication Agent instance.
