Enabling replication for DDL  Chapter 3: Administering Sybase Replication Agent

Chapter 2: Setup and Configuration

Starting replication

NoteBefore you attempt to replicate transactions from the primary database, you must complete all of the procedures in “Setting up Replication Agent connectivity”.

StepsTo start replication in the Replication Agent instance

  1. Log in to the Replication Agent administration port and use the following command to verify that the Replication Agent instance is in Admin state:

    ra_status
    
  2. Start replication by invoking the following command:

    resume
    
  3. Use the ra_status command to verify that the Replication Agent instance is in Replicating state.

NoteThe Replication Agent instance will go to the Replicating state only if a connection for the primary database has been created in the primary Replication Server. For more information on creating the primary database connection in Replication Server, see the Replication Agent Primary Database Guide.

When the Replication Agent instance is in Replicating state, it is scanning the transaction log for transactions to be replicated and sending LTL to the primary Replication Server.

If the Replication Agent instance is not in Replicating state after you invoke the resume command, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting Sybase Replication Agent,” for more information.
