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 software, and both isql and
SQL Advantage are provided with the Adaptive Server software.
