To start a Replication Agent instance, you must log in to the Replication Agent host machine with a user name that has execute permission in the Replication Agent installation directory and all subdirectories (for example, the “sybase” user).
Invoke ra, and specify the instance that you want to start.
Invoke the administrator GUI utility and specify the instance that you want to start.
Invoke the RUN script for the instance that you want to start.
If Replication Agent is installed on a Windows system, start a Windows service for the instance that you want to start.
The ra utility, the administrator GUI utility, and the RUN script are batch files on Microsoft Windows and shell scripts on UNIX.
