Setting Up the Latency Monitoring Process

Start the latency monitoring process for replication paths in the replication environment.

Prerequisites

  1. From the Perspective Resources view, right-click a Replication Server and select Monitor.
  2. Click Paths.
  3. Select a path from the list.
    Note: When selecting or highlighting a path, click outside the Path Name column. Clicking the path name opens the path dashboard.
  4. Click Quick Admin to display the latency monitoring process administration view for the selected path.
    Note: The selected path's primary and replicate Replication Server versions must be 15.1 or later, otherwise the Quick Admin option is disabled. For a non-Sybase primary database, the Replication Agent must also be version 15.1 or later.

    All replicate databases to which the selected path replicates data are listed in the administration view. For Adaptive Server databases, all parameters are populated automatically. For non-Sybase databases, you need to provide the parameters manually in the administration view.

  5. Specify the replicate database information, start and end dates, and the repeat interval time.
  6. For non-Sybase databases, click Test Connection to verify that the connection information is valid.
    Note: Repeat this step for all the listed replicate databases.
  7. Click Start.

You can click the bar graph icon in the upper-right corner of the Latency window in the Replication Server Monitor's Paths view or in the Replication Path Dashboard to see the detailed latency history.
