How the Message Agent for Adaptive Server Enterprise works

	This section describes how the Message Agent for Adaptive Server
	Enterprise works. There are some signiﬁcant differences between how the
	Message Agent for Adaptive Server Enterprise and the Message Agent for
	Adaptive Server Anywhere operate, which accommodate the different roles
	of the two servers.
	☞ For information on features of the Message Agent that are common to
	Adaptive Server Anywhere and Adaptive Server Enterprise, see “Running
	the Message Agent” on page 223 .
Message Agent is	The Message Agent for Adaptive Server Enterprise is the following
ssremote	executable:
	♦ On Windows operating systems, the Message Agent is ssremote.exe
	♦ On UNIX operating systems, the Message Agent is ssremote.

Scanning the transaction log

The Message Agent scans the Adaptive Server Enterprise transaction log in order to collect transactions to be sent to remote databases. It stores these transactions in a stable queue.

☞For more information about the stable queue, see “The stable queue” on page 265. For more information about how the Message Agent uses the stable queue, see “Message Agent operation phases” on page 266 .

The SQL Remote Message Agent uses the same transaction log scanning interface as the Adaptive Server Enterprise Log Transfer manager (LTM). Adaptive Server Enterprise maintains a truncation point, which is an identiﬁer for the oldest page in the transaction log needed by the replication system.

The SQL Remote Message Agent sets the truncation point as soon as transactions are scanned from the transaction log and committed in the stable queue. This allows the dump transaction command to reclaim space in the transaction log as soon as possible. The Message Agent does not wait until conﬁrmation is received from remote databases before setting the truncation point.
