Identifying and resolving replication problems reflected in the Source and Target columns - assure_mimix - 10.0

I 

Inactive (highlighted red) – The process is currently not active.

When all database and object replication processes are inactive, the data group is considered active. Use option 9 (Start DG) to start the data group.

L 

Inactive RJ link (highlighted red) – The RJ link is currently not active. This status is only displayed in the database source column when a data group uses MIMIX RJ support.

Check the status of the database and object replication processes.

• If replication processes are active, use option 44 (RJ links) to start the RJ link.
• If replication processes are all inactive, use option 9 (Start DG) to start the data group.
• If replication processes have other statuses, correct those problems. Then use option 44 (RJ links) to start the RJ link.

A 

Active (highlighted blue) – The process is currently active. For the database source column, this value indicates that the send/receive processes are active.

C 

RJ Catch-up mode (highlighted blue) – The remote journal is currently in catch-up mode. This status can only be displayed in the database source column for data groups that use remote journaling. Catch-up mode indicates that the operating system is transferring journal entries from the source system journal to the remote journal as quickly as possible. When the database reader process is active, MIMIX processes the journal entries as they reach the target system.

R 

Active RJ link (highlighted blue) – The RJ link is currently active. This status is only displayed in the database source column when a data group uses MIMIX RJ support.

U 

Unknown (highlighted white) – The status of the process cannot be determined possibly because of an error or communications problem.

To verify communications, do the following:

1. Press the F16 (DG definitions) key.

2. From the Work with Data Group Definitions display, use option 14 (Transfer definitions) next to the data group you want.

3. From the Work with Transfer Definitions display, use option 11 (Verify communications link) to verify the communication links available to the data group.

J 

RJ Link in Threshold (highlighted turquoise) – The RJ link has fallen behind its configured threshold.

Use option 8 (Display status) to view detailed status and determine the extent of the backlog. For more information about which detailed status fields to check, see Identifying replication processes with backlogs.

T 

Threshold reached (highlighted turquoise) – A process has fallen behind a configured threshold. View detailed status to determine which process has exceeded its backlog threshold and to determine the extent of the backlog.

Use option 8 (Display status) to view detailed status and determine which replication processes have backlogs. For more information about which detailed status fields to check, see Identifying replication processes with backlogs.

V 

Virtual switch (highlighted yellow) – The object apply and database apply processes (including the database apply threaded process, when configured) and the access path maintenance process (when enabled) for the data group are ended because the data group is participating in a virtual switch of an application group. Other processes are active.

These processes will be started automatically during the recovery phase of the virtual switch procedure. User action is required to initiate the recovery phase. See Working with procedures and steps.

X 

Switch mode (highlighted red) – The data group is in the middle of switching (planned or unplanned) the data source system and status may not be retrievable or accurate.

Wait for the switch to complete. To check for additional status, do one of the following:

• In environments that use application groups, check the status of the switch procedure using the WRKPROCSTS command.

• In environments with only data groups that switch using an implementation of MIMIX Model Switch Framework, use the command CHKSWTFWK SWTFWK(name) to check status. You can also go to the MIMIX Basic Main Menu, select option 5 (Start or complete switch using Switch Asst.).

P 

Partially active (highlighted red) - At least one subprocess is active (or is ended for a virtual switch), but one or more subprocesses are not active. This status is only displayed in process columns that represent multiple processes. The data group name may also be shown in a highlighted field of red.

In the Target DB column, partial status is also possible when all other processes, including database apply, are active but access path maintenance is enabled and does not have at least one active job.

Use option 8 (Display status) to view detailed status and determine which replication process is not active for a data group. From the Data Group Status display, use F7 (Object view) or F8 (Database) to view status specifically for object or database replication processes for that data group.

Then from the Work with Data Groups display, use option 9 (Start DG) to start the data group.

D 

Disabled – The process is currently not active and the data group is disabled.

For more information about disabled data groups, see Disabling and enabling data groups.

W 

Waiting at a recovery point (highlighted red) - The process is currently suspended at a recovery point.

Investigation and analysis of the recovery point data may be necessary. Ending the data group will clear the recovery point, and the next start operation will attempt to process the available entries, including any with corruptions.
