  • The last time an AI block was filled and sent to the PICA queue of the source database (factoring in the potential waiting time for a free plugin communication area (PICA) queue message entry) at the point when the replication server last assembled an AIBLOCK message for transmission to the replication agents.

_ReplAgtAct-LastSyncTimeSrc 30 CHARACTER The sum of _ReplAgtAct-LastSyncDelta and _ReplAgtAct-LastSyncTimeTgt. An approximate measure of the amount of lag that occurs when the last transaction end, global transaction end, or AI extent switch note is sent in an AI block from the replication server to the replication agent and when the replication agent actually starts to apply the note.

Format X(24)
_ReplAgtAct-LastSyncDelta 31 CHARACTER After successfully connecting to the replication agent, either during startup or recovery processing, the replication server sends five time-synchronization messages to that agent. On receiving each time-synchronization message, the replication agent computes the time difference between when the message was sent from the replication server and when it was received by the replication agent. This value represents the average of five different calculations. It provides an estimate of the network latency between the replication server and the replication agent.

Format X(24)
_ReplAgtAct-BlockProcDelay 34 INTEGER The time difference, measured in seconds, between when the replication agent last received a timestamped AI block and when it began processing the AI notes in the block.

_ReplAgtAct-ReservedChar 35 CHARACTER Reserved for future use
_ReplAgtAct-ReservedInt 36 INTEGER Reserved for future use
1 Synchronization points are a collection of replication-related information (such as the last AI extent applied, the AI block number processed, the offset within an AI, and so on) that can be used as the starting point during synchronization in the event of the replication process being interrupted. After the synchronization points are applied to the target, the AI and BI are synced to the disc, and the server gets notified about these special points. During a restart, the server can use this information to start the synchronization process. If an AI block gets processed on the target but does not have synchronization point information in it, the block may or may not materialize on the disc. So, during a restart, the server has to start from the last synchronization point and retry the AI blocks after it. The server skips a block if it has been applied before; otherwise, the server applies the block. Therefore, you can see blocks being sent to target1 even if they are in sync with the source. The synchronization point information is available in both the .recovery file and the DSRUTIL monitor tool.
