Setting Agent Parameters

Each replication agent supports a set of run-time parameters that you can use to control how the agent runs. For information about parameters available for each agent, see the documentation for replication command prompt utilities.

For example, a parameter that can be helpful when troubleshooting replication agent activity is the –output parameter. This parameter writes all actions that occur and error messages for a particular agent to a text file.

The parameters can be set through:

  • The command line of the agent job step titled 'Run agent'.

  • The properties of a Microsoft® ActiveX® component.

  • A centralized agent profile.

  • The agent command prompt utility.
