Background processing

Several tasks that Replication Manager performs can be very time-consuming, such as creating a subscription that materializes a table. Such tasks are performed in the background, allowing Sybase Central to continue to function.

When you start a time-consuming task, Replication Manager displays a message window indicating that a process is running. Click Stop Process to stop the background process. Click Close to close the window and leave the process running. See the Replication Server Administration Guide for more information about Replication Server internal processing.

When a background task completes, Replication Manager inserts an entry in the event log.

This is how you use the Background Processes dialog box:

To see the status of a background process at a later time, open the Background Processes dialog box.
To access the Background Processes dialog box, select Search | Background Processes. The Background Processes dialog box opens, displaying:
- Process – the name of the process
- Start time – the start time of the process
- Status – the status of the process
