Progress Fathom Replication
User’s Guide

> ## Failure conditions

> When Fathom Replication is running, normal database activity occurs. If Fathom Replication encounters a failure, failure processing occurs to try to recover. Fathom Replication handles a variety of failure conditions. These failure conditions are divided into two general categories, which are described in the following sections:

> - Database crash

> - Lost connection

> Note: Shutting down either the source or target database using `PROSHUT` without a forced shutdown is considered a normal event and not a failure by either the Fathom Replication server or agent. Additionally, if the Fathom Replication server is terminated with `DSRUTIL -C terminate Server` or the Fathom Replication agent is terminated with `DSRUTIL -C terminate Agent`, this is also not considered a failure.
