When you create a Replication Agent instance, you specify a client socket port number for its administration port. Client applications use this port to connect to the Replication Agent.
The administration port allows Open Client (or Open Client-compatible) applications to log in and execute Replication Agent commands. You can use any Sybase Open Client interface utility (such as isql or SQL Advantage®) to connect to the Replication Agent administration port.
Client applications are not provided with the Replication
Agent software. The isql utility is provided
with the Replication Server software, and both isql and
SQL Advantage are provided with the Adaptive Server Enterprise software.
