You can verify the status of your servers with these methods:
Use isql to log in to each server. If the login succeeds, you know that the server is running.
Create a script that logs in to and displays the status of each Adaptive Server and its RepAgent thread, other Replication Agent (if any), and Replication Server. Make sure all servers in the script are included in the interfaces file.
If a login fails, it may be caused by one of the following problems:
Problem: You typed an incorrect name, or the interfaces file you are using does not have an entry for the server.
DB-LIBRARY error: Server name not found in interface file.
Problem: The server is running, but you specified an incorrect login name or password.
DB-LIBRARY error: Login incorrect.
Problem: The server is not running.
Operating-system error: Invalid argument DB-LIBRARY error: Unable to connect: Server is unavailable or does not exist.
Problem: The interfaces file cannot be found.
Operating-system error: No such file or directory DB-LIBRARY error: Could not open interface file.
Problem: The interfaces file exists, but you do not have permission to access it.
Operating-system error: Permission denied DB-LIBRARY error: Could not open interface file
If you can not log in but do not receive an error message, you can assume that the server has stopped processing. Call Sybase Technical Support if you need assistance in determining the problem.
