replicat

Used without options, the command runs the program interactively.

paramfile parameter_file

Specifies the relative or absolute path name of the parameter file for the Replicat program that is being run. The default location is the dirprm subdirectory of the Oracle GoldenGate installation directory.

atcsn CSN | aftercsn CSN [threads(thread_list)]

Starts the process at or after the specified commit sequence number (CSN). F.

filterduptransactions

Causes Replicat to ignore transactions that it has already processed.

initialdataload

Runs Replicat to apply all of the data as an initial load to populate the target.

pauseatend | nopauseatend

(Windows only) When the process stops, requires an Oracle GoldenGate user to look at the console output and then strike any key to clear it. Also indicates whether the process ended normally or abnormally.

processid PID

A name for the process. This name must match the name that is specified for the REPLICAT parameter in the parameter file. Use one alphanumeric word. When used on IBM i, this name (up to the first 10 characters) will be used as the job name in the IBM i job list.

reportfile report_file

Sends command output to the specified report file. Without the reportfile option, the command output is printed to the screen. The default is the dirrpt subdirectory of the Oracle GoldenGate installation directory.

skiptransaction [threads(thread_list)]

Causes the process to skip the first transaction after its expected startup position in the trail.

Syntax for IBM i CLI
