The Replication Agent connection status is derived from the status of the Replication Agent thread in the Replication Server and the status of the Replication Agent process that is extracting data from the primary database. The Replication Agent process is either a RepAgent thread in ASE, a Replication Agent or a Mirror Replication Agent (MRA) server, or SQL Anywhere LTM, also known as dbltm, for an ASA or IQ server.
In RMS 15.0, the status of the Replication Agent thread in the Replication Server is determined only by the Replication Agent connection status. This EBF integrates the Replication Agent process to determine the complete status. When the Replication Agent thread or the Replication Agent process is down, the RMS returns the state “SUSPENDED” and a description.
The format of the connection name is ds.db, where ds is the name of the data server and db is the name of the database. The Replication Agent, MRA, and dbltm store the name of the connection in configuration parameters.
