Figure 5–2: OpenEdge Replication server status screen

As shown in Figure 5–2, the first two lines of the Replication server status screen are the utility title line and the fully qualified name of the database specified by the user. The remaining lines are defined in Table 5–9.

Table 5–9: Replication server status
Field
Description
Database is enabled as OpenEdge 
Replication 
Indicates whether the database is enabled as a replication source or target.
Server is 
Describes how the server is processing information:
  • Normal processing — The server is processing information in the normal fashion.
  • Performing initialization — The server is performing initialization.
  • Performing startup
    synchronization
    — The server is in the process of synchronizing the target databases with the source database.
  • Connection — The server connection to agent(s).
  • Configuring connected agents — The server is performing handshaking with the agent.
  • Performing failure recovery — The server is attempting failure recovery from a connection failure.
  • Unknown — The server is in an unknown state.
Number of configured agents 
Shows the number of agents currently configured to operate with the server.
Defer Agent Startup 
Shows information related to deferred agent startup.
Continue connection attempts until 
Shows the time, day, and date when connection attempts will stop.
Deferred Agent Startup will expire 
in 
Shows the remaining duration of deferred agent startup.
Next connection attempt in 
Shows when the next connection attempt starts.
Connection attempts performed 
Shows how many connection attempts have occurred.
Agent(s) currently connected 
Shows the number of connected agents.
Delay Interval (current / min / max) 
Shows the amount of time, in milliseconds, the server will wait between polling the database for information to be replicated. Current is the current value, min is the minimum value, and max is the maximum value.
Polling is used to increase the performance of the server, and the wait is used to limit the amount of overhead when no data is available to be replicated.
Recovery information 
Shows failure-recovery-related details.
Agents needing recovery 
Shows the number of remote agents requiring failure recovery.
Agents connected 
Shows the number of remote agents currently connected to the server.
Agents in synchronization 
Shows the number of remote agents in the process of being brought up to date.
Transition information 
Shows Replication transition details.
Type 
Shows the type of transition to be performed:
  • Manual — Indicates intervention is required to complete the transition of a target database to a normal OpenEdge database
  • Automatic — Indicates a transition from a target database to a normal OpenEdge database will take place without intervention
Transition timeout limit 
Shows the maximum amount of time that will elapse before the transition of a target database to a normal OpenEdge database.

Note: This line does not appear in Figure 5–2, as the limit is shown for automatic transition only.
