There are two command line utility programs and a GUI utility provided with Sybase Replication Agent. These utilities facilitate creating and managing Replication Agent instances and starting up Replication Agent instances.
ra – this command line utility starts a Replication Agent instance or returns the Sybase Replication Agent version number.
ra_admin – this command line utility allows you to create, copy, verify, and delete a Replication Agent instance, or list all verifiable installed Replication Agent instances.
administrator – this graphical user interface (GUI) utility allows you to create, manage, and start Replication Agent instances. This GUI utility requires a GUI interface on the Replication Agent host machine or on a workstation or terminal connected to the Replication Agent host.
Replication Agent utilities (ra, ra_admin, and administrator) are supplied as batch files for Windows NT and Windows 2000 and as shell scripts for UNIX operating systems. These files reside in the bin subdirectory in the Replication Agent base directory (%SYBASE%\rax-12_5\bin).
