Replication Guide and Reference

Monitoring the replication environment

You can use the Replication Monitor, included with the DJRA, to periodically generate a report that shows how your replication network is working:

• The color-coded report shows you whether your expectations for Capture latency and subscription latency are being met.

• The Replication Monitor keeps historical statistics, so you can determine whether end-to-end subscription latencies, for example, are staying consistent.

• The report file is in HTML format, viewable through your Web browser. You can publish the report on your company's intranet for the benefit of users who need the information but might not have database privileges. After it is produced, the monitor report is completely independent of DB2, requiring no database accesses to read.

To start the Replication Monitor, click Monitor replication on the main DJRA window. From the Replication Administration Scheduler window, you can schedule the monitor to run periodically or you can run it once.
