Two utilities are provided with the Mirror Replication Agent:
ma – starts a Mirror Replication Agent instance, or returns the Mirror Replication Agent software version number.
ma_admin – allows you to create, copy, verify, and delete Mirror Replication Agent instances, or list all verifiable installed Mirror Replication Agent instances on a machine.
Mirror Replication Agent utilities are supplied as batch files for Windows platforms and as shell scripts for UNIX platforms. The utility files reside in the bin subdirectory, under the Mirror Replication Agent base directory.
On Windows platforms, when you execute a run script,
you can omit the extension ma -i my_ma.
However, on UNIX, you must always include the extension ma.sh
-i my_ma.
You can use the -help option with either the ma_admin or ma command line utility to obtain information about that utility.
