Before you attempt to replicate transactions, use the
checklist in “Preparing for replication” to
verify that your entire replication system is set up properly.
To start replication in the Replication Agent instance
Log in to the Replication Agent administration port using the following command:
isql -Uusername -Ppassword -Sinst_name
where username is the Replication Agent administrative user login name, password is the corresponding password, and inst_name is the name of the Replication Agent instance you want to start replication for.
Start replication by issuing the following command:
resume
Verify the Replication Agent instance is in the Replicating state by issuing the following command:
ra_status
When the Replication Agent instance is in the Replicating state, it is ready to scan the transaction log for transactions to be replicated and send LTL to the primary Replication Server.
If the Replication Agent instance is not in the Replicating state after you invoke the resume command, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting Sybase Replication Agent,” for more information.
