Table 1. Replication server status
Field Description
Database is enabled as OpenEdge Replication Database replication role. Valid value is:
  • Source
Server is Replication server state. Valid values are:
  • Performing Initialization—The replication server is performing initialization at startup.
  • Connecting to Agent(s)—The replication server is in the process of connecting to replication agents at startup.
  • Configuring Connected Agents—The replication server is configuring the data required to begin synchronization with connected replication agents.
  • Performing Failure Recovery—The replication server is attempting to recover from a connection failure.
  • Performing Startup Synchronization—The replication server is in the process of synchronizing the target databases with the source database at startup.
  • In Normal Processing—The replication server is in the normal mode of operation. AI blocks are being retrieved from the PICA queue and sent over the network to the connected replication agents.
  • Initiating Agent to Agent Connections—The replication server is instructing the replication agents to establish a network connection amongst themselves to support replication-set transition synchronization.
  • In an Unknown State—The replication server is in an unknown state.
Number of configured agents The number of replication agents that the replication server has been configured to run with.
Defer Agent Startup Shows information related to deferred agent startup.
Continue connection attempts until

The date and time that deferred agent connection attempts will cease.

Displays as Unknown if the replication server has not yet unsuccessfully attempted to connect to configured replication agents.
Deferred Agent Startup will expire in

The time remaining until deferred agent connection attempts will cease.

Displays as Unknown if the replication server has not yet unsuccessfully attempted to connect to configured replication agents.
Next connection attempt in

The time remaining until the next deferred agent connection attempt.

Displays as Unknown if the replication server has not yet unsuccessfully attempted to connect to configured replication agents.

Displays as Now occurring if replication server is currently in the process of connecting to configured replication agents.
Connection attempts performed The number of attempts made to connect to all configured replication agents at replication server startup.
Agent(s) currently connected The number of replication agents that are currently connected to the replication server.
Delay Interval (current / min / max)

Current delay interval—Current message polling delay interval (in seconds)

Min delay interval—Minimum message polling delay interval (in seconds)

Max delay interval—Maximum message polling delay interval (in seconds)
Recovery information Shows information related to replication network connection failure recovery.
State Replication server state. Valid values are:

  • No Recovery Being Performed—No recovery required.

  • Just Entered Recovery—A failure has occurred wherein one or more replication agents have lost network connection with the replication server.

  • Server Attempting Connection—The replication server is attempting to reconnect with all failed replication agents.

  • Initialize Synchronization with Agents —The replication server is initializing synchronization for all connected replication agents.

  • Synchronizing Agents—The replication server is synchronizing with all connected replication agents.

  • Recovery Complete—Recovery is complete.

  • Recovering agent to agent connections—The replication server is instructing replication agents to reestablish the inter-agent network connections used for synchronization in replication-set transition.
Agents needing recovery The number of configured replication agents that are in recovery processing.
Agents connected The number of replication agents that are in recovery processing and are connected to the replication server.
Agents in synchronization The number of replication agents that are in recovery processing and are either ready for or have started recovery synchronization with the source database.
Transition information Shows information related to replication transition.
Type Specifies whether connected replication agents will perform recovery transition automatically, or with manual intervention. Valid values are:
  • Manual—Specifies that manual intervention is required to complete the transition of a target database to its new replication role.
  • Automatic—Specifies a transition from a target database to its new replication role will take place automatically upon expiration of the transition timeout limit.
Transition timeout limit For automatic transition, the maximum amount of time (in seconds) the priority replication agent will wait for reconnection from the replication server until automatically transitioning the target database to its new replication role.
Note: This line appears in the monitor display only when the transition Type is Automatic.
Replication set Replication set enabled. Valid values are:
  • 0—Replication set not enabled.
  • 1—Replication set enabled.
Database role Role the database takes after transition. Valid values are:
  • Normal
  • Reverse
Transition to agents Transition to agents list.
Recovery transition to agents Recovery transition to agents list.
Restart after transition Specifies whether database broker is started after transition.
Valid values are:
  • 0—Database broker is not started after transition.
  • 1—Database broker is started after transition.
Automatically begin AI

Specifies whether after-imaging (AI) is automatically started during transition.

Valid values are:
  • 0—After-imaging is not automatically started during transition.
  • 1—After-imaging is automatically started during transition.

Displays ? when replication set is enabled.
Automatically add AI areas Specifies whether AI extents are automatically added during transition.
Valid values are:
  • 0—AI extents are not automatically added during transition.
  • 1—AI extents are automatically added during transition.
AI structure file Filename of structure file specifiying AI extents to automatically add during transition.

Displays as ? when not automatically adding AI extents during transition.
Backup method The database backup method used during transition. Valid values are:
  • Full-offline
  • Full-online
  • Mark
Transition end trigger Specifies whether to run a custom defined script at the end of a transition. Valid values are:
  • 0—Do not run a custom defined script at the end of a transition.
  • 1—Run a custom defined script at the end of a transition.
Configured agents List of configured replication agents.
Repl keep alive Replication keep alive property value (in seconds).
Schema lock action

The method that the connected replication agents will use to obtain an exclusive schema lock on the target database. Valid values are:

  • Force
  • Wait
Agent shutdown action

The action that the replication agent takes if connection to the replication server is lost. Valid values are:

  • Normal
  • Recovery
  • Wait
If the replication server is not running when the replication server status monitor screen is displayed for the first time, the replication server data is not displayed and replaced with the following message: 
Database is not running as a OpenEdge Replication source
If the replication server is not running when the replication server status monitor screen is refreshed, the replication server data is not displayed and replaced with the following message: 
Cannot obtain server information. Quitting.
