The dump subcommand is used at a primary site to initiate a coordinated dump. RepAgent retrieves the dump record from the transaction log and sends a dump subcommand to the Replication Server to distribute rs_dumptran or rs_dumpdb functions to all sites with subscriptions for data in the database.
distribute command_tags dump [database | transaction] database_name, dump_label id
database_name is the name of the database that was dumped.
dump_label is a varchar(30) value that contains some information to identify the dump. RepAgent uses the date and time of the dump for this variable.
id is a varbinary(36) timestamp for the dump.
A dump command must be sent within a transaction.
