Normally, you need to restart Replication Server only if you are reconfiguring system files or if your system experienced a failure that brought down Replication Server. Initially, the installation process starts the replication system for you.
To bring up a Replication Server site, start system components in this sequence:
Start the data server containing the databases that Replication Server manages.
If Replication Server uses Adaptive Server Enterprise for the RSSD, start the RSSD. For more details, see the Replication Server Installation Guide for your platform.
Start Replication Server by running the repserver command on UNIX systems, or the repsrvr.exe command on Windows systems, or by executing the Replication Server run file.
Start RepAgent for the data server and for the RSSD if RepAgent has not been configured to start automatically at server startup.
To ensure that Replication Server started with no errors:
Check the repserver.log file for error messages (indicated with the letter “E” on the left), as described in “Replication Server error log” on page 276 in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2.
Use isql to log in to each Replication Server, or use a script that logs in to each server. See “Verifying server status” on page 4 in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2.
