2.4 WIIEP monitoring tools Two tools are available to administer and manage the WIIEP event publishing environment. These are the Replication Center and the Replication Alert Monitor. 2.4.1 Replication Center The Replication Center creates and manipulates replication and event publishing objects by generating and then running operational commands and SQL scripts. For example, when you start a Q Capture program by using the Replication Center, the Replication Center generates and then runs an operational command. As another example, when you delete a Q subscription or XML publication by using the Replication Center, the Replication Center generates and then runs an SQL script. The Replication Center can generate operational commands to perform many tasks for the Q Capture program, Q Apply program, and Replication Alert Monitor. For example, the commands can start or stop the program, prune control tables, change parameters, or check program status. The Replication Center can also generate SQL scripts to create, modify, and delete objects. For example, the scripts can create, change, delete, or activate Q subscriptions or XML publications. The scripts can also create, change, or drop control tables, and they can create and delete alert conditions. A detailed discussion of the Replication Center is beyond the scope of this redbook.
