Progress Fathom Replication
User’s Guide

> ## Starting up the source database

> Use the following command to start the source database:

>     PROSERVE -db source_db_name -DBService replserv

> The `-DBService` argument instructs the broker to start the Fathom Replication server. Database activity cannot begin until Fathom Replication has completed its startup and initialization, unless you have used the `defer-agent-startup` property.

> Note: Any valid `PROSERVE` argument can be used to start the source database. When using arguments that affect shared memory (number of users, clients per server, maximum number of servers, etc.), you should be careful to use the same arguments and values when you start the target database.

> If there is a configuration error, the Fathom Replication server will be brought down even if there is no critical agent. The following are examples of a configuration error:

> - Missing AI extents.

> - Target not created properly.

> - Large file mismatch.
