DSRUTIL utility

Once you initially set up, enable, and start OpenEdge Replication, you can use the DSRUTIL utility to perform specific OpenEdge Replication server, OpenEdge Replication agent, source database, and target database requests.

Syntax

DSRUTIL db-name -C ACTION[Server | Agent][name | ALL]
[ -Passphrase ]

Parameters

db-name
The name of the database to perform the action on. The name of the database must be the first argument and must be a valid name.
-C action
The -C qualifier is used to specify the action to be performed on the database. You can supply the qualifiers described in Table 1.
Server | Agent
The action will be performed on the OpenEdge Replication server or the OpenEdge Replication agent.
name | ALL
The action will be performed on one OpenEdge Replication agent (name) or on all OpenEdge Replication agents (ALL). Each OpenEdge Replication server maintains a list of named OpenEdge Replication agents that it is communicating with. The agent name must be valid.
-Passphrase
For encryption-enabled databases only, specifies to prompt for a passphrase to authenticate the key store.
Caution: If your database is enabled for transparent data encryption and configured for manual start, you must specify -Passphrase every time the database is opened.
For more information on encryption and key store authentication, see OpenEdge Data Management: Database Administration.
