The Replication Manager (RM) can manage small and simple replication environments by directly connecting to the server in the replication environment. It identifies problems within the replication environment, and allows you to fix them. It also provides the ability to create, alter, and delete replication components in the environment. However, to manage large and complex replication environments with more than ten servers, the RM requires the help of a monitoring component called Replication Monitoring Services (RMS). For such environments, the RM provides commands to create, modify, or delete replication components, while RMS provides the ability to monitor the replication environment.
For information on monitoring the replication environment using the RM and RMS, see Chapter 3, “Managing Replication Server with Sybase Central,” in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1.
