Replication Server

Learn how RMS determines the Replication Server states.

The RMS determines the state of a Replication Server by:
  1. Testing the connection to the Replication Server

  2. Testing the connection to the server that contains the RSSD

  3. Determining the health of the Replication Server

  4. Determining the status of the server’s connections, routes, and queues

The Replication Server can be in more then one state, but the RMS returns only one state. For example, the status of the server can be both HIBERNATE and QUIESCE.
