Error: Unable to Retrieve Topology data.

You may encounter this error when you right-click on a Replication Server and select View Replication Topology.

Workaround: You must first authenticate the resources before viewing a topology. To do this, right-click on a Replication Server, and select Authenticate.

567453

Replication Agent stopped responding, which caused Sybase Control Center for Replication to block the collection processing.

Workaround: Once the blocking issue is resolved, Sybase Control Center Scheduler recovers automatically and continues to normal collection processing.

See CR #567940 in Known Issues for Sybase Control Center and CR #564704 in Known Issues for Adaptive Server for related information.

You may sometimes see this error when you log out.

Workaround: Ignore this error.

566458

An issue exists in the Sybase Control Center for Replication where network connections to the same Adaptive Server are not established separately.

If the Adaptive Server hosts more than one database that is either a primary or replicate database, or a Replication Server System Database (RSSD), then the commands executed in the Sybase Control Center for Replication may fail and the statistical collection process may generate errors.

Additionally, the collection performance is degraded and in some circumstances the user interface performance is impacted.

Note: This issue does not occur when monitoring a Replication Server that uses an embedded RSSD.

Workaround: Unregister all resources tied to the replication environment that does not conform to this limitation.

565911

The RepAgent thread graph does not display.

The RepAgent thread graph does not display when you open a Replication Server dashboard.

Workaround: Replication Server is case-sensitive. The server name and the connection or route names must match, including its case. If the case is different, unregister the Adaptive Server and register with the correct case.

565884

Alerts are not available for child managed objects (child MOs).

Replication alerts are not available for child MOs like Replication Server connections, routes, and queues.

Workaround: None.

563770

Repeat Once and Repeat Indefinitely options not supported for the Replication Server Performance Counters collection jobs.

If you select Repeat Once or Repeat Indefinitely in the Scheduling Information window when creating a collection job for Replication Server Performance Counters, no error or warning appears, but no collection occurs since the Performance Counters collection job does not support these options.

Workaround: Choose Repeat until for this type of collection.

561615

Cannot add two network connections with different user names to the Sybase Control Center for Replication.

The Sybase Control Center for Replication connection library stores the network connections to the servers, using the server name as the key. If you attempt to add two different connection authentications to the same server, the Sybase Control Center for Replication connects to the database using the first added user name. No error message appears.

Workaround: If you are monitoring an Adaptive Server and using that same Adaptive Server to hold the Replication Server System Database (RSSD), you must configure the RSSD and the Adaptive Server to use the same user ID and password. The user ID must have all the necessary privileges to access the RSSD.

560552

The Replication Agent Thread dashboard has no data if replication is not enabled in the Adaptive Server.

Workaround: Enable replication in the Adaptive Server.
