Managing queues

Managing queues allows you to monitor status of replication for each replication agreement (queue) used by this server. You can use the information provided here.

Expand the Replication management category in the navigation area and click Manage queues.

The Manage queues table contains the following information in columns:
Select

Replica
Specifies the name of the replica in the replication queue.
Subtree
Specifies the subtree under which the replica is located.
Last result
Indicates the last return code/status (success/failed)
State
Indicates the state of replication with the consumer:
Active
Actively sending updates to consumer.
Ready
In immediate replication mode, ready to send updates as they occur.
Waiting
Waiting for next scheduled replication time.
Binding
In the process of binding to the consumer.
Connecting
In the process of connecting to the consumer.
On Hold
This replication agreement has been suspended or "held".
Error Log Full
For a server configured to use multiple connections, replication is suspended for this agreement. The receiver threads continue polling for status from any updates that have been sent, but no more updates are replicated.
Retrying
If the server is configured to use a single connection, replication attempts to send the same update after waiting for 60 seconds and keeps trying until replication succeeds or the administrator skips the update.
Queue size
Specifies the number of pending changes returned from replication status queries.
  • Select the replica for which you want to manage the queue.
  • Depending on the status of the replica, you can click Suspend/resume to stop or start replication.
  • Click Force replication to replicate all the pending changes regardless of when the next replication is scheduled.
  • Click Queue details, for more complete information about the replica's queue. You can also manage the queue from this selection.
  • Click Refresh to update the queues, obtain the current status, and clear server messages.
