SYMPTOM(s):

Cannot see replication folder in Progress Explorer

Database fails to start via Progress Explorer

Database also fails to start from the command line

Access to database source not allowed. The database is enabled for site replication but either replication is not running, or this process is not authorized to open a replication enabled database. (10356)

Error in admserv.log file

[Replication] Invalid property syntax on line number 51. (PRPMsg011)

FACT(s) (Environment):

All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge Replication 10.x
IBM AIX
Windows
Windows Vista
OpenEdge 10.1C

CAUSE:

Problem is a missing bracket for one of the sections with in the *.repl.properties file. For this particular example, line 51 was for the control-agent section:
[control-agent.agent3
name=agent3
database=helloworld
host=myhost
port=8820
connect-timeout=120
replication-method=async
critical=0

FIX:

Make sure the *.repl.properties file is clean of typos, odd characters, and a that all section headings have matching open/close brackets.
