You can start or stop a
Replication Server using the Services Manager and runserver file created by rs_init or
using isql.
Start-up Sequence for Servers
In a production system, you must start Adaptive Servers and Replication Servers, whenever your machine reboots. See your system administrator to do this.
Runserver File
The runserver file is an executable script that contains the complete command line required to start an SAP Replication Server. When you install a new SAP Replication Server to your replication system, rs_init creates a runserver file in the installation directory.
