Setting Up OpenEdge Replication : Starting OpenEdge Replication : Database connection considerations
 

Database connection considerations

As OpenEdge Replication is started, all database connections to your Replication source are disallowed until OpenEdge Replication startup and initialization phases are complete, unless you set the defer-agent-startup property in the server properties file. Disallowing database connections has different results based upon the type of client connecting. Client connections in this section are defined to be user sessions or utilities that perform actions on the database.
The following table shows the results of connecting during startup and initialization based on the type of client connecting.
