The Replication Manager provides developers and database administrators with a tool for loading data from external files into SAP DB databases and to unload data from SAP DB databases into external databases.
In addition to processing special load and unload commands, the Replication Manager can also execute all SQL statements. As a result, you can create command files that contain SQL statements for loading and unloading data. In particular, the DDL function for creating database catalog objects is indispensable in combination with the load command.
Architecture
The Replication Manager consists of a server part and a client part.

The REPM Server is familiar with options and REPM Server commands. The REPM Server commands must be stored in a command file (<command_file>). When you call the Replication Manager, you must enter this command file using -b <command_file>.
For a link to be established with a database instance on the local computer, you must enter at least the name of the database instance (option -d <database_name>) when calling the Replication Manager.
When creating the connection between the REPM Server and the database instance, the Replication Manager first uses the specified options. Next, it evaluates any commands about session creation that exist in the command file, and executes the commands for loading or unloading data and SQL statements.
