Stops all Replication Agent processing in the Replicating state and puts the Replication Agent instance in the Admin state.
quiesce
When the quiesce command is invoked, it stops all current Replication Agent processing.
The Log Reader component stops reading operations from the transaction log as soon as the current scan is complete.
The Log Transfer Interface (LTI) component stops sending LTL to the primary Replication Server as soon as its input queue is empty.
When the LTI component is finished processing its input queue and sending the resulting LTL, the Replication Agent instance drops all its connections to the primary database and the primary Replication Server.
The Replication Agent instance goes from the Replicating state to the Admin state.
If the Replication Agent internal queues are filled with large amounts of data when the quiesce command is invoked, the quiesce processing may take a while to complete.
If the Replication Agent instance is in the Admin state, the quiesce command returns an error message.
The quiesce command is valid only when the Replication Agent instance is in the Replicating state.
The action of the suspend command
is similar to that of the quiesce command, except
that the suspend command stops Replication Agent processing
immediately and flushes any pending change data in the Replication
Agent internal queues.
