Adaptive Server Enterprise

Learn how RMS determines the Adaptive Server Enterprise states.

The RMS determines the state of an Adaptive Server Enterprise by:
  1. Testing the connection to the Adaptive Server

  2. Determining the state of the Adaptive Server’s RepAgent threads

RMS tests only the RepAgent thread of databases that participate in replication, and not all databases in Adaptive Server. Databases that are offline are not queried.
