Progress Fathom Replication
User’s Guide

> ## Normal Fathom Replication activity

> Fathom Replication begins when the source and target databases are started. While the Fathom Replication server and Fathom Replication agent are performing startup and initialization, other database activity is not allowed, unless you specified a non-zero value for the `defer-agent-startup` property. If a process attempts to connect to either database during this phase, the process will block until Fathom Replication has completed its work and normal database activity starts. See the "Database access once Fathom Replication is running" section for further details.
