About SAP Control Center for Replication

SAP® Control Center for Replication is a Web-based solution that replaces Replication Monitoring Services (RMS), a middle-tier server, in monitoring the status and availability of servers in a replication environment.

SAP Control Center for Replication allows you to monitor and manage large, complex, and geographically dispersed replication environments. It lets you search, sort, and filter servers and component objects to support a larger environment than what the current Replication Manager and Replication Monitoring Services can handle.

SAP 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.

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

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