Several tasks performed by the Replication Manager can be very time-consuming, such as creating a subscription that also materializes the table. These tasks are performed in the background, allowing Replication Manager to perform other tasks. When you start a time-consuming task, Replication Manager displays a message window to indicate a running process. Click Stop Process to cancel the background process or click Close to close the window, to continue running the process in the background.
When a background task is completed, Replication Manager puts an event entry in the event log.
To see the status of a background process at a later time, open the Background Processes dialog, which displays a list of all the currently running processes.
To access the Background Processes dialog, select Search | Background Processes. The Background Processes dialog opens, displaying the following:
Process – the name of the process.
Start time – the start time of the process.
Status – the status of the process.
