Sybase Replication Agent provides a simple means of testing connections from the Replication Agent instance to the primary database and the primary Replication Server. You can invoke the Replication Agent test_connection command to send a simple connection request and confirm the connection to the primary database and the primary Replication Server.
If the connection specifications recorded in the Replication Agent configuration parameters (server name, client port address, user IDs, and passwords) are not correct, the test_connection command will return a failure message.
To verify Replication Agent connections to the primary
database and primary Replication Server
Log in to the Replication Agent administration port.
Once you have logged into the Replication Agent administration port, you can invoke the test_connection command:
1> test_connection 2> go
This command tests all the connections of the Replication Agent instance you logged into.
You can test a specific connection (either the primary
data server or the primary Replication Server) by specifying the
connection you want to test.
See Chapter 4, “Sybase Replication Agent Command Reference” for more information about the Replication Agent test_connection command.
