If you do not specify the -odbcc parameter, the Replication Engine connects to your database using
ODBC.
— Type of database whose schema you are defining a release for. For a list of valid values, see
Table 2 on page22.
■ DBType
— Specifies the attributes the Replication Engine uses to locate the corresponding database.
The attributes that comprise this value depend upon the type of database schema you are defining a
project for. For a list of valid location formats, see Table 2 on page 22.
■ connstr
— Name of the developer license to associate with the corresponding project. You only need to
specify the -pdl parameter if you have multiple developer licenses on the same system.
