-ml This option makes it possible for dbremote to delete old mirror log
files when either of the following two circumstances occur:
♦ the offline mirror log is located in a different directory from the mirror
transaction log
♦ dbremote is run on a different machine from the remote database server
In a typical setup, the active mirror log and renamed mirror transaction logs
are located in the same directory, and dbremote is run on the same machine
as the remote database, so this option is not required and old mirror log files
are automatically deleted. Transaction logs in this directory are only affected
if the DELETE_OLD_LOGS database option is set to ON or DELAY.
–o Append output to a log file. Default is to send output to the screen.
–os Specifies the maximum file size for logging output messages. The
allowed size can be specified as n (bytes), n K (Kb), or n M (Mb). By default
there is no limit, and the minimum limit is 10000 bytes.
Before SQL Remote logs output messages to a file, it checks the current file
size. If the log message will make the file size exceed the specified size,
SQL Remote renames the output file to yymmddxx.dbr (for dbremote) and
yymmddxx.ss r (for ssremote) where xx are sequential characters ranging
from AA to ZZ, and yymmdd represents the current year, month, and date.
If the Message Agent us running in continuous mode for a long time, this
option allows you to manually delete old log files and free up disk space.
–ot Truncate the log file and then append output messages to it. Default is
to send output to the screen.
–p Process the messages without purging them.
–q For Windowing operating systems only, starts the Message Agent with
a minimized window.
–r Receive messages. If none of -r, -I, or -s is specified, the Message
Agent executes all three phases. Otherwise, only the indicated phases are
executed.
The Message Agent runs in continuous mode if called with -r. To have the
Message Agent shut down after receiving messages, use the -b option in
addition to -r.
–rd time By default, the Message Agent polls for incoming messages
every minute. This option (rd stands for receive delay) allows the polling
frequency to be configured, which is useful when polling is expensive.
You can use a suffix of s after the number to indicate seconds, which may be
useful if you want frequent polling. For example:
