If you have sa permission, you can temporarily suspend access to a data server. You must suspend a database connection before you alter it or when you remove a data server from service for maintenance.
While data server access is suspended, the Replication Server queues transactions for the data server so they can be applied when the connection is resumed.
You can temporarily suspend access to a data server using Sybase Central or you can use the following command:
suspend connection to data_server.database [with nowait]
By default, suspend connection completes the current transaction before suspending. Use the with nowait clause to suspend the connection in mid-transaction. This may be appropriate if a large transaction is responsible for a failure in a replicate database.
