Sybase Control Center for Replication and Data Assurance

Sybase Control Center provides a single comprehensive Web administration console for real-time performance, status, and availability monitoring of large-scale Sybase enterprise servers. It includes historical monitoring, threshold-based alerts and notifications, alert-based script execution, and intelligent tools for identifying performance and usage trends.

Sybase Control Center for Replication provides status information at a glance, using server monitors and a heat chart for displaying the availability or status of a specific server. The server monitors display high-level information, such as server version and platform. The server monitors also display critical performance counters to aid you in troubleshooting replication performance.

Sybase Control Center for Data Assurance (DA) supports data comparison from a primary database to one or more replicate databases. You can also schedule comparison tasks. Sybase Control Center for Data Assurance uses and deploys its own SQL Anywhere® database, which stores system and configuration settings, tasks, and task history. An automatic reconciliation option identifies missing, orphaned, and inconsistent rows when you create DA jobs.

To help you control the flow of data and configure replication parameters to improve server performance, Sybase Control Center for Replication provides a quick administration tool that you can easily access through every replication monitor.

In addition to the monitors, Sybase Control Center for Replication provides a topology view that graphically displays the servers, the connections between servers, data flow in the environment, and sources and targets for a replication path. Graphs and charts are also available for monitoring performance counters.
