After you set up the databases and configure replication, you can start OpenEdge Replication by starting both the source and target databases as services.

To start OpenEdge Replication:

  1. On the source machine, start the source database, as shown (note that -DBService is case-sensitive): 
    proserve -db source-db-name -DBService replserv -S {port|service name }
  2. On the target machine, start the target database, as shown: 
    proserve -db target-db-name -DBService replagent 
-S {port|service name }
    Note: The port or service name must match the entries in the control agent sections of the target properties file.

For more information about these steps, see Start the source database and Start the target database.
