The Log Transfer Manager (LTM) is also known as a replication agent.
The LTM is required for any Adaptive Server Anywhere database that
participates in a Replication Server installation as a primary site. The
Adaptive Server Anywhere LTM reads a database transaction log and sends
committed changes to Replication Server. The LTM is not required at
replicate sites.
The LTM sends messages to Replication Server in a language named Log
Transfer Language (LTL).
By default, the LTM uses a log file named
DBLTM.LOG to hold status and
other messages. You can use the command-line options to change the name
of this file and to change the volume and type of messages that are sent to it.
Use configuration file (–C) Use the configuration file config_file to
determine the LTM settings. The default configuration file is
dbltm.cfg . The
format of the configuration file is described in "The LTM configuration file"
on page 113.
