sp_stop_rep_agent

Shuts down the RepAgent thread for the specified database.

Syntax

sp_stop_rep_agent dbname[, 'nowait']

Parameters

dbname – The name of the database for which you want to shut down the RepAgent.
nowait – Shuts down the RepAgent immediately, without waiting for executing operations to complete.
The default shuts down RepAgent gracefully at the end of the current batch.

Examples

Example 1 – Shuts down an integrated RepAgent for the pubs2 database. The default shutdown option allows RepAgent to finish processing the current batch.
```
sp_stop_rep_agent pubs2 
```

Usage

Use sp_stop_rep_agent with RepAgent-enabled databases.
Once you have used sp_stop_rep_agent to shut down RepAgent, it does not automatically start up when the database comes online during server startup. To re-enable automatic startup, execute the sp_start_rep_agent procedure.
sp_stop_rep_agent is asynchronous and may take some time to execute. Use sp_who to check the status of the RepAgent.

Permissions

sp_start_rep_agent requires “sa” or “dbo” permission or replication_role.
