When you create a Mirror Replication Agent instance, you specify a client socket port number for its administration port. Client applications use this port to connect to the Mirror Replication Agent.
The administration port allows Open Client (or Open Client-compatible) applications to log in and execute Mirror Replication Agent commands. You can use any Sybase Open Client interface utility (such as isql or SQL Advantage®) to connect to the Mirror Replication Agent administration port.
Client applications are not provided
with the Mirror Replication Agent software. The isql utility
is provided with the Replication Server.
