Option to Hide Connection Status

You can hide or filter out the status of connections if you do not want to see the connection status either on the individual connection icon or as part of the rollup status for Replication Server.

Because the filtering state of the connection status is stored locally by the Replication Manager, different instances of the Replication Manager do not share filtering states. For example, if you create a connection using one instance of the Replication Manager, and then set the Replication Agent status to “hide” for that connection, another Sybase Central plug-in instance monitoring the same environment does not filter the connection status because the filtering information is available only to the original Replication Manager instance.

In addition, any connection created outside of Sybase Central (by rs_init or from the command line) is not filtered automatically by the Replication Manager. You must set the filtering manually from within Sybase Central.

Connection Status in Warm Standby Environments

The Replication Manager automatically sets the filtering state for the active Data Server Interface (DSI) thread and standby RepAgent thread connections when you create a warm standby environment. You must set filtering for the physical connection manually by selecting one of the connection status hide options from the context menu.
