The rs_dump command is typically used to coordinate database dump activities across a replication system.
When a replicate connection receives an rs_dump transaction, Replication Server executes the rs_dump function string for that connection. You can customize the rs_dump function string to execute whatever commands are required.
For non-ASE primary database replication, some Replication Agents provide a method to invoke the rs_dump command from a non-Sybase primary database. Refer to the appropriate Replication Agent documentation to determine if rs_dump execution from the primary database is supported.
For replicate databases, no default function string for rs_dump is provided.
For more information about the rs_dump command, its use, and function-string modifications, see the Replication Server Reference Manual.
