To start a Replication Agent instance, you must log in to the Replication Agent host machine with a user name that has execute permission in the Replication Agent installation directory and all subdirectories (for example, the “sybase” user).
Following are ways you can start a Replication Agent instance:
Invoke the ra utility and specify the instance that you want to start.
Invoke the Administrator GUI utility and specify the instance that you want to start.
Invoke the RUN script for the instance that you want to start.
The ra utility, the Administrator GUI utility, and the RUN script are batch files on Microsoft Windows platforms and shell scripts on UNIX platforms.
