Administering and Monitoring Replication

Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 replication provides tools to administer and monitor replication agents, replication alerts, and replication processes, ensuring that replication meets the needs of your organization.

Monitoring replication helps you:

• Set the agent profiles, schedules, properties, and notifications for replication agents.
  
  
• View and troubleshoot agent activity, including verifying when agents last ran, monitoring agent activity, and analyzing replication performance.
  
  
• Receive notification through a replication alert when an event occurs on a replication agent.
  
  
• Validate subscriptions to ensure that data values are the same at the Publisher and at Subscribers.
  
  
• Reinitialize one or all subscriptions to a publication as needed.
  
  
• Manage replication agents from a central location.
