If you are managing a large or complex replication environment, you might want to install the Replication Monitoring Services (RMS) server. In a three-tier management solution, RMS server is a middle-management layer that monitors the status of the servers and other components in the replication environment. Replication Manager connects to the servers in the environment through RMS.
The Replication Manager provides the client interface that displays the information provided by RMS.
For more information about RMS and its functionality, see Chapter 8, “Introducing Replication Monitoring Services.”
