Starting OpenEdge Replication with the DBMAN utility or OpenEdge Explorer

Once you enable OpenEdge Replication and set the properties for both the source and the target databases, you can start OpenEdge Replication automatically with either the DBMAN utility or OpenEdge Explorer (or OpenEdge Management if you have a license), instead of the PROSERVE command. This is possible because the database configurations that make OpenEdge Replication possible are saved in the conmgr.properties file.

After you install OpenEdge Replication and the AdminServer is already running, the AdminServer will not be able to perform OpenEdge Replication configuration until you stop and restart it. This is because the AdminServer does not consider a database actually enabled for OpenEdge Replication until the next time the AdminServer starts. To force the AdminServer to consider the database enabled for OpenEdge Replication, simply stop the AdminServer and then restart it.

To start OpenEdge Replication with the DBMAN utility, enter the following command:

Where db-name is the name of either the source or the target database.
