Checking Server Status in Sybase Central

After you add the first secondary server, the database is enabled for multiplex. You can then check the status of all the multiplex nodes, if desired.

1. Open the multiplex folder.
2. Select the Servers tab to view server status.

   Servers tab content

   Column	Description
   Name	Server name
   Role	Coordinator, Reader, or Writer.
   IsConnected	Yes if server is connected. Otherwise No. Indicates whether Sybase Central has a connection to the server. Sybase Central only needs a connection to one of the servers in the multiplex, but the user may connect Sybase Central to more than one.
   Failover node	Yes if this is the designated failover node, otherwise No.
   Sync State	Synchronized, Unsynchronized (not a valid state), Excluded, Coordinator, or Not Running
   As Of	When the displayed information was last updated. For example: “8/5/08 7:01:18 PM”

3. Status displays are not instantaneous and depend on network latency. To refresh the status display, select View > Refresh Folder from the main menu bar.
