The RMS status shows the lowest status reported, for example, if the status of any server in the list is not UP, then the status for the RMS is reported as SUSPECT.
For example, the status of the Adaptive Server reflects the status of its Replication Agent threads. If any of the monitored Replication Agent threads in the Adaptive Server are not UP, then the state of the Adaptive Server is set to SUSPECT.
For more information about RMS server and component states, see Appendix C, “RMS Server and Component States,” in the Replication Server Reference Manual.
