Monitoring latency between the source and target databases
If there is a database failure of some kind and the target database transitions to a normal database, latency reporting allows you to determine how far behind the target database is from the source database. The target database will be behind because there will be some number of AI blocks that have been written to the source database that have not been applied by the OpenEdge Replication agent to the target database. To know how much, if any, information has not yet been applied to the target database, DSRUTIL MONITOR provides latency information from both the server's perspective and agent's perspective.
