The Dbvisit Replicate command console can be used to view the replication process and also to control and change the replication settings.
The Dbvisit Replicate command console can be started in two ways:
- Starting the Dbvisit Replicate command console without a DDC file. This brings up an empty command console and from here the setup wizard can be started to setup a new replication.
- Starting the Dbvisit Replicate command console with a DDC file. This connects to an existing replication and will show the progress and overview of the replication. From the command console, the replication can be changed, paused, stopped, new tables can be added, conflict handlers can be configured and current conflicts can be resolved.
Starting the Dbvisit Replicate command console
On Windows:
There are several ways to start the Dbvisit Replicate command console:
1. There is a start menu shortcut to the Dbvisit Replicate command console:
Start > Dbvisit > Replicate > Dbvisit Replicate Command Console
dbvrep> readddc w112a.ddc
2. Start a Windows command prompt and type:
dbvrep.exe --ddcfile w112a.ddc
3. Use the shortcut script generated by the setup wizard. This script will start the command console with the correct DDC file:
start-console.bat
On Linux/Unix:
dbvrep --ddcfile w112a.ddc
Where w112a.ddc is an example name of a DDC file
