Monitoring replication

After the replication environment is up and running, you can monitor the Capture and Apply programs and set up automatic notifications for specific conditions.

Using the Replication Center, you can check the status of the Capture and Apply programs and view certain statistics that indicate how well the programs are running. You can also set up the Replication Alert Monitor to notify you when either the Capture or Apply program encounters certain types of replication errors.

  1. Step 1: Create control tables for the Monitor program
    The first step in setting up monitoring for the Capture and Apply programs is to create control tables for the Replication Alert Monitor program.
  2. Step 2: Create a contact for replication alerts
    The Replication Alert Monitor program issues alerts when specific activity occurs in the Capture and Apply programs. In this step, you designate who receives the alerts.
  3. Step 3: Select an alert condition for the Capture program
    The Replication Alert Monitor program can monitor specific activities of the Capture program. You must select which activities you want to monitor.
  4. Step 4: Select an alert condition for the Apply program
    The Replication Alert Monitor program can monitor specific activities of the Apply program. You must select which activities you want to monitor.
  5. Step 5: Start the Replication Alert Monitor for a monitor qualifier
    After you select alert conditions for the Capture or Apply programs, you can start the Replication Alert Monitor program. When the Capture or Apply program encounters one of the specified conditions, the Replication Alert Monitor sends an alert to the contacts that you designated for the alert condition.
