Message Agent batch and continuous modes


The Message Agent can be run in one of two modes:

The options available depend on the send frequency options selected for the remote users. Sending frequency options are described in Selecting a send frequency.

To run the Message Agent in continuous mode

  1. Ensure that every user has a sending frequency specified. The sending frequency is specified by a SEND AT or SEND EVERY option in the GRANT REMOTE statement (Adaptive Server Anywhere) or sp_grant_remote procedure (Adaptive Server Enterprise).

  2. Start the Message Agent without using the -b option.
