You can use the isql utility to execute:
ERSSD (Embedded Replication Server System Database) commands, using the primary user name and password from the Replication Server configuration file.
RCL commands interactively
Scripts stored in text files
For simple operations, using isql interactively may be easiest.
For more complex operations, Sybase recommends using isql to execute scripts, so you can keep a record of the RCL commands you have executed to set up a Replication Server. You can edit scripts and resubmit them whenever necessary. Scripts are also useful when you are verifying a new system or investigating the cause of a failure.
You can use isql to log in to Replication Server or Adaptive Server. This section describes both the interactive and script methods for using isql with Replication Server. For information about using isql with Adaptive Server, refer to the Adaptive Server utility programs manual for your operating system.
