The SQL Remote Message Agent is a client application that sends and receives messages from database to database. The installer automatically installs the Message Agent for each write and query server that you create.
The Message Agent is a program called dbremote.exe on Windows systems, and dbremote on UNIX. Sybase Central starts the Message Agent on the same node as the write server when you start a server in an Sybase IQ multiplex database. For more details about the Message Agent, see “Multiplex options” on page 5 in Sybase IQ Utility Guide. One dbremote process for each server runs on the write server’s node. Each dbremote process connects to its designated server to update its catalog. To start or stop dbremote processes, see “Managing multiplex servers”.
