Replication Status

This screen displays the status of replication agreements configured for all replicated suffixes on the server. You can also use this tab to see the progress of consumer initialization for a particular replication agreement.

Refresh. Click this button to refresh the replication status display immediately.

Continuous refresh. Select this checkbox to automatically update the replication status display continuously.

Defined Agreements. This table contains the following information for all replication agreement on the server:

  • Suffix. Names the suffix or subsuffix that is being replicated.

  • Remote Replica. Contains the hostname and port of the consumer server.

  • State. Indicates whether the agreement is disabled, initializing the consumer, or replicating normally through incremental updates.

  • Summary. Contains the latest event (start or end of initialization or update) and the last message received.

You may click on the heading of any column to sort the table according to that column. For example, you may want to sort by remote replica to see replication agreements for different suffixes on the same consumer.

View options. Click this button to further customize the contents of the defined agreements table. Use the check boxes to select the visible columns and specify the sorting column and sort order. You may also select column names and move them to the right or left. Column headings are displayed top to bottom in the view options in the same order they will appear left to right, respectively, in the defined agreements table.

The following information about replication agreements can be enabled as a separate column in the view options:

  • Description. Contains the description string provided in this replication agreement.

  • Sent Updates. Cumulates the total number of individual updates sent to the consumer since replication was enabled or the server was restarted.

  • Last update started. Specifies the time at which the last replication operation began.

  • Last update ended. Specifies the time at which the last replication operation ended.

  • Last update message. Provides the status for the most recent replication updates.

  • Last initialization message. Provides status on the last initialization of the consumer.

  • Last initialization began. Indicates when the most recent initialization of the consumer replica started.

  • Last initialization ended. Indicates when the most recent initialization of the consumer replica ended.

Pending Change Number. Click this button to determine the last modification on the master that has not yet been replicated to the consumer. You will be warned that this operation may take a long time and asked to confirm. Determining the pending change number requires downloading the consumer's record of updates and comparing it to the master's change log. If these logs are very large, this operation may take significant time and server resources.
