Manage a Replication System

You can start and shut down Replication Server, and monitor, maintain, and configure the replication system.

• Set Up a Replication System
  Learn the basic steps in setting up a replication system. This process requires planning and careful attention to the replication needs of your organization.
• Perform Replication Server Tasks
  Use rs_init, Sybase Central , or isql with RCL commands to interact with Replication Server.
• Starting Replication Server
  Start Replication Server and replication system components in sequence.
• Stopping a Replication Server Using isql
  Stop a Replication Server using the isql utility.
• Add a Replication Server
  To add a Replication Server to a replication system, use the rs_init program, as described in the installation and configuration guides for your platform.
• Add a Replication System Domain
  A replication system domain includes all replication system components that use the same ID Server.
• Set Replication Server Configuration Parameters
  You can configure Replication Server or specific objects within the replication system by using one of several methods that update configuration parameters in the rs_config system table in the RSSD or the ERSSD.
• Manage the RSSD
  The data in each Replication Server RSSD is essential in keeping the replication system running.
• Manage the Embedded Replication Server System Database
  Replication Server can run on either an Adaptive Server Enterprise Replication Server System Database (RSSD) or on an Embedded RSSD (ERSSD). ERSSDs are designed for users who do not want to use Adaptive Server Enterprise to manage the Replication Server RSSD.
• Quiesce Replication Server
  To quiesce a replication system means to put the system in a state in which no Replication Servers have messages to send or receive.
• Remove a Replication Server
  How you remove a Replication Server from a replication system depends on whether or not the Replication Server is active (running). It is easiest to remove a Replication Server that is active. You must also drop routes and subscriptions when you remove a Replication Server.
