Replication Manager is a utility for creating, managing, and monitoring replication environments, and is available as a plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition. Replication Manager communicates directly with Replication Server and Adaptive Server Enterprise servers.
Depending upon the scale and complexity of your replication environment, you can set up either a two-tier or a three-tier solution for your environment. In a two-tier management solution, Replication Manager connects directly to the servers in the environment without communicating through the management layer.
In a three-tier management solution, Replication Manager monitors large and complex replication environments with the help of Replication Monitoring Services (RMS). Replication Manager connects to the servers in the environment through RMS.
Replication Manager:
Uses a graphical user interface.
Allows you to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot replication system components, such as connections, routes, replication definitions, subscriptions, and so forth.
Runs on Microsoft Windows operating systems as well as all UNIX operating systems that Replication Server supports.
Runs within the same Sybase Central framework as Adaptive Server Enterprise plug-in to Sybase Central, Java Edition.
Manages a warm standby environment.
Supports multisite availability (MSA).
Supports embedded Replication Server System Database (RSSD).
Provides for logging and tracing of server commands.
Provides two-tier and three-tier management solutions by supporting RMS.
See Chapter 3, “Managing Replication Server with Sybase Central” in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1.
