Support for dynamic configuration

Replication Manager supports the dynamic configuration feature of Replication Server. Replication Manager dynamically retrieves all parameters that can be configured for Replication Server, including the parameters for connections and routes.

The Parameters tab of the Properties dialog box in Replication Manager has been enhanced to accurately display the parameter status information returned by Replication Server. The GUI enhancements include the following:

The Status field replaces the Restart Required field in Replication Manager 15.0. The text field associated with the Status field now has a wider range of information.
The parameter information in the Run Value column may now contain the value “<server default>”. You can use the “<server default>” value for parameters in connections, logical connections, and routes to indicate that a parameter at that component level has not been set, and the Replication Server default value will be used. These types of parameters can have a default setting at the server level, or can have the parameter set for an individual connection, logical connection, or route.
There may be some parameters for which the legal values are considered nonstandard. In such cases, the Legal values field may be left blank. This is usually due to a parameter that may contain a textual setting and a numerical setting. In these cases, the Explanation field may contain further information regarding legal values for the parameter.

Versions of Replication Server earlier than 15.0.1 do not support dynamic configuration.
