Shuts down the Replication Agent instance.
shutdown [immediate]
The optional keyword that shuts down the Replication Agent instance immediately.
When shutdown is invoked without specifying an option, a normal shutdown is performed.
In a normal shutdown, Replication Agent first quiesces and then the application terminates. (See the description of the quiesce command on page § for more information on quiescing the Replication Agent instance.)
When shutdown is invoked with the immediate keyword, an immediate shutdown is performed.
In an immediate shutdown, the Replication Agent instance stops all processing, without regard to transactions in process or in transit, drops all connections immediately, and then terminates the application.
The shutdown command with the immediate keyword is valid at any time, when the Replication Agent instance is in any state, including transition between states.
The shutdown command with no keyword (normal shutdown) is valid when the Replication Agent instance is in either Admin or Replicating state, but not in state transition.
