SAP Replication Server Interface Problems

SAP Replication Server Interface (RSI) allows two SAP Replication Servers to exchange transactions across a route. Usually, RSI problems occur when SAP Replication Server attempts to connect to another SAP Replication Server or when the locater is invalid.

The RSI consists of:

Although many errors may occur when a primary SAP Replication Server loses its connection to the replicate SAP Replication Server, none of these errors should cause a loss of data or cause the RSI to be suspended. The primary thread continuously attempts to connect to the replicate SAP Replication Server until the connection is reestablished.

Losing the connection terminates the RSI thread at the replicate SAP Replication Server. The thread at a replicate SAP Replication Server exists only while a connection exists. Executing admin who in the replicate SAP Replication Server shows that the primary SAP Replication Server is no longer logged in as an RSI source. When the primary SAP Replication Server reestablishes the connection to the replicate SAP Replication Server, data is replicated across the route to the replicate SAP Replication Server.
