The Replication Manager displays the Event Log pane, which shows events that occur in the replication environment. These events can be:
Component state changes for connections, routes, and queues
Server availability changes
Background thread completion
Background processes status
RMS event trigger execution
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.
