The start dbremote example in the section “Truncating the transaction log for a multiplex database” in Chapter 4, “Managing System Resources” contains incorrect parameters. The dbremote -k parameter is no longer supported by Sybase IQ and the -o parameter should be just before the output file path. The correct syntax of the start dbremote command is:
start dbremote -q -v -x -o "d:\Server01\mpxdb\dbremote.log" -c "uid=DBA;pwd=SQL;eng=Server01;dbf= d:\Server01\mpxdb\mpxdb; links=tcpip{port=1704;host=FIONA-PC}"
