Manage Replication Environment with Sybase Central

You can manage your replication environment using the Replication Manager (RM) plug-in and Replication Monitoring Services (RMS).

Sybase integrates its systems management tools into one desktop product, called Sybase Central. Each server product, such as Replication Server or Adaptive Server, can be managed from Sybase Central.

After installing and configuring Replication Server, start Sybase Central, and use RM to create a new replication environment that includes all data servers, Replication Servers, and Replication Agents that participate in the replication.

Replication Manager displays a two-pane window that contains icons for the servers managed in the environment. Use this window to monitor the status of the servers and to execute menu commands to diagnose and manage the servers and other components of your replication system.

• Set Up a Replication Environment
  A replication environment includes replication objects such as Replication Servers, data servers, and Replication Agents. Before any replication activities can be performed, you must create and configure an environment.
• Monitor a Replication Environment Using RMS
  To monitor a complex replication environment, the Replication Manager connects to the servers in the environment through the Replication Monitoring Services—a middle-management layer that provides monitoring capabilities for replication environment.
