Starting Replication Server

Start Replication Server and replication system components in sequence.

1. Start the data server containing the databases that Replication Server manages.
2. 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.
3. Start Replication Server by running the repserver on UNIX systems or repsrvr.exe on Windows systems, or by executing the Replication Server run file.
4. Start RepAgent for the data server and for the RSSD if RepAgent has not been configured to start automatically at server startup.
5. To ensure that Replication Server started with no errors:
   1. Check the repserver.log file for error messages (indicated with the letter “E” on the left), as described in Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 > Handle Errors and Exceptions > Error log files > Replication Server Error Log.
   2. Use isql to log in to each Replication Server, or use a script that logs in to each server. See Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 > Verify and Monitor Replication Server > Monitoring Replication Server > Verify Server Status.
