Starting Replication Agent


In Siebel 7.5, Replication Agent starts 0 tasks (default setting) when Siebel Server starts. If you want to start Replication Agent tasks automatically when Siebel Server starts, see Siebel Server Administration Guide for information on how to change the Default Processes parameter to 1.

The procedures below describe how to start Replication Agent while Siebel Server is running.

To start Replication Agent - GUI

  1. If the default task is 0, reconfigure the Replication Agent component using the Component Reconfiguration steps.
    1. Before reconfiguring server components, verify that any external resources remain available that will be accessed by current tasks running on the existing component configuration. Also verify that any external resources are available that will be defined in the new component configuration.
    2. Examples of external resources include the SRF and CFG files that are defined in the component configuration.

    3. Navigate to the Enterprise Configuration screen.
    4. Click the Component Definitions view tab.
    5. In the upper Component Definitions list, select the component definition you want to reconfigure.
    6. Click the menu button and then click Start Reconfiguration.
    7. The Definition State field changes to Reconfiguring.

    8. In the lower Component Definitions list, change the Value field of parameters that you want to reconfigure for the component—in this case, change the value of the Default Task to 1.
    9. You can also change the values of fixed parameters, but you cannot change whether parameters are fixed.

    10. After parameter values have been reconfigured, commit the new configuration by clicking the menu button and clicking Commit Reconfiguration.
    11. The new parameter values will be merged at the enterprise level. To cancel the reconfiguration before it has been committed, click the menu button and then Cancel Reconfiguration.

  2. If the default task is 1, then navigate to Site Map > Server Administration > Servers > Server Components.
  3. Start Replication Agent.
