User's Manual

–cq “parameter=value; .. . ” Specify connection parameters for the stable
queue. This option applies to Adaptive Server Enterprise only. If not
supplied, the values default to the -c values.
–dl Display messages in the Message Agent window or at the command
prompt and also in the log file if specified.
Specify encryption key (–ek) This option allows you to specify the
encryption key for strongly encrypted databases directly at the command
prompt. If you have a strongly encrypted database, you must provide the
encryption key to use the database or transaction log in any way, including
offline transaction logs. For strongly encrypted databases, you must specify
either -ek or -ep, but not both. The command will fail if you do not specify
a key for a strongly encrypted database.
Prompt for encryption key (–ep) This option allows you to specify that
you want to be prompted for the encryption key. This option causes a dialog
box to appear, in which you enter the encryption key. It provides an extra
measure of security by never allowing the encryption key to be seen in clear
text. For strongly encrypted databases, you must specify either -ek or -ep,
but not both. The command will fail if you do not specify a key for a
strongly encrypted database.
–e locale-string This option applies to Adaptive Server Enterprise only.
Specify Adaptive Server Enterprise locale information. The locale string has
the following format:
"language_name,charset_name[,sort_order]"
By default, the Message Agent uses the default locale, which is defined in
the file sybase\locales\locales.dat .
If language_name and charset_name are not supplied, the Message Agent
obtains them from Adaptive Server Enterprise. If sort_order is not supplied,
the Message Agent uses a binary sort order (sort by byte value).
–fq This option is for use only with Adaptive Server Enterprise. It permits
a full scan of the stable queue when sending messages, starting from the
oldest confirm_sent value in the sr_remoteuser table.
This feature is intended for occasional use to clean out a large stable queue.
If, for example, a single user has not confirmed receipt of a message from a
long time ago, the stable queue may be very large. However, by running -fq
you can delete entries from more up-to-date users that have been confirmed,
even though they are more recent than the cutoff value at which entries are
deleted by default.
–g n Instructs the Message Agent to group transactions containing less
