Viewing server errors

You can view the server errors using the Web Administration Tool.

About this task

You can view replication updates that were not completed because of errors that occurred during replication.

Expand the Replication management category in the navigation area of the Web Administration Tool and click Manage topology

Procedure

  1. Select the subtree that you want to view and click Show topology.
  2. Select the server (replica agreement) that you want to view.
  3. Click View errors.

Results

The subtree, supplier and consumer information is displayed. Replication errors are displayed in a table that supplies the following information:
Change ID
The ID assigned to the failed update.
Last update time
Indicates the time when the last attempt to replicate the entry was made.
Number of attempts
Indicates the number of attempts made to replicate the entry.
Result code
Result code obtained by the last attempt to replicate the entry.
Note: The order this information is displayed in is defined by failure ID. Failure IDs are assigned as they happen. The failure ID is not the same as the change ID. The change ID remains constant, but the failure ID is changed on every failed attempt.

You can select an error and perform the following actions:

  • Click Show details to view more information about the error.
  • Click Retry to attempt the update again.
  • Click Remove to remove the error from the Replication error management table.
