Monitor a Replication Environment Using RMS

To monitor a complex replication environment, the Replication Manager connects to the servers in the environment through the Replication Monitoring Services—a middle-management layer that provides monitoring capabilities for replication environment.

RMS is an optional component of a replication system. RMS is used to monitor large or complex environments. RMS also provides the ability to control the flow of data and set the configuration parameters.

In a three-tier solution, you set up an RMS server to help you monitor your replication environment. In this solution, RMS monitors the health and availability of the servers and other components in your replication environment.

See the Replication Server Configuration Guide for your platform to start, stop and configure RMS.

• Prepare for a Three-tier Solution
  When you are creating a three-tier environment, you must connect to an RMS server.
• Connecting to RMS
  Connect to RMS using the RM plug-in once it has been started. You can also use the RM plug-in to add servers that need to be monitored by the RMS.
• Add and Drop Servers Through RMS
  Servers in a three-tier environment are added and dropped in the same way as in the two-tier environment. The difference is in the properties that display if you select the object and view its properties.
• View Managed Objects
  Use the RMS folder to view objects managed by RMS.
• Add Event Triggers
  You can use RMS to execute a script based on an event trigger to monitor the replication environment.
