Connections

Learn how the RMS monitors the state of a Replication Server’s database connections.

Database connections include two parts, the RepAgent and the DSI. The state of the Replication Server threads determines the state of the connection. The RMS executes the admin who command to retrieve the state of the threads.

The RMS returns the state of the DSI and RepAgent separately. Client applications such as the Replication Manager Java plug-in may consolidate the state of the threads (and the state of the actual RepAgent) when displaying the status of the connection.
