Process commands
Process commands communicate using the process name. This is useful for tasks, such as a one-time data synchronization or direct file extraction, that are set up as special runs by using the SPECIALRUN
, SOUCEISFILE
, or SOURCEISTABLE
parameters. These processes do not require an Extract or Replicat group name and can be identified only by the process name.
SEND PROCESS
Use SEND
PROCESS
to communicate with a running process using the process name rather than the group name. Once the process is started you can:
-
Send commands recognized by the process

Send a
WAKE
orBREAK
command
Syntax

Example
