Starting and Stopping the Replication Agent Server Component
To synchronize the regional database, the Replication Agent server component must be in an Online state. This topic describes how to start and stop Replication Agent while the Siebel Server is running. Starting Replication Agent in the Administrative Interface
You can start Replication Agent in the administrative interface. To start Replication Agent in the administrative interface
- Locate the record for the Replication Agent server component.
For more information, see Locating the Record for a Server Component.
- Set the HQ Application Server Name parameter:
- In the bottom applet, click the Parameters tab, and then query the Parameter field for the following value:
HQ Application Server Name
- In the Value On Restart field, enter a value for the dock connect string.
For more information, see Setting the HQ Application Server Name Parameter.
- Optional. Configure tasks for Replication Agent to start automatically when the Siebel Server starts.
For more information, see Setting Tasks to Start Automatically for the Replication Agent when the Siebel Server Starts.
- Navigate to the Administration - Server Management screen, and then the Components view.
- Start Replication Agent.
Starting or Stopping Replication Agent in the Server Manager Command Line Interface
You can start or stop Replication Agent in the Server Manager command line interface. To start or stop Replication Agent in the Server Manager command line interface
- Open the Server Manager command line.
For more information, see Opening the Command Line Interface for Server Manager.
- If necessary, to start Replication Agent, enter the following command all on one line:
start task for comp repagent server server_name with HQ=DockConnString, sleeptime=number_of_seconds_to_sleep
Siebel CRM sets the sleeptime to 60 seconds, by default. It is not necessary for you to configure sleeptime. For more information, see Using Replication Agent to Control Synchronization.
- If necessary, to stop Replication Agent, enter the following command:
stop task for comp repagent server server_nbame
Setting the HQ Application Server Name Parameter
You must set the HQ Application Server Name parameter that identifies the dock connect string of the parent Siebel Server. The following format uses the same format that the Dock Connect String uses: server_name:TCPIP:port_number: SMI:encryption
where:
- server_name identifies the name of the headquarters server
- TCPIP is the network protocol
- port_number identifies the port number for the synchronization manager. You can use one of the following values. 40400 is the default value:
- SMI is the encryption service
- encryption identifies the encryption type. You can use one of the following values. None is the default value:
