The replication tools consist of the ASNCLP command-line program, the Replication Center, and the Replication Alert Monitor tool.
You can use the ASNCLP program to administer SQL replication, Q replication, Classic replication, relational event publishing, and the Replication Alert Monitor .
You can use the ASNCLP commands to create, modify, and remove information in control tables of the replication programs. You can also use the ASNCLP commands to generate SQL scripts to create, modify, and remove information about replication sources, targets, queues, and other options in control tables.
You can use the Replication Center to set up and administerg the replication components for Q replication and SQL replication. The Replication Center is only supported in Linux and Windows operating systems.
The Replication Center is installed by default as part of the replication tools component in typical or custom installations. The compact installation no longer installs the replication tools component, which includes the Replication Center.
The Replication Alert Monitor is a utility that checks the health of the Q Capture, Q Apply, Capture, and Apply programs. It checks for situations in which a program terminates, issues a warning or error message, reaches a threshold for a specified value, or performs a certain action, and then issues notifications to an email server, pager, or the z/OS® console.
