24 Handling errors
This chapter describes error handling mechanisms supported by Replication Manager.
About handling errors
To monitor for errors occurring in a complex replication environment, you must acquire information
that identifies the locations of errors. With Replication Manager, you can set alert conditions for
monitoring entities such as copy pairs, copy groups, journal groups and copy licenses. The following
parameters can be used to determine alert conditions:
• Copy pair status
• Performance information thresholds
• Copy license usage threshold
By configuring alert settings, alerts can be issued when the alert conditions are met. Such alerts can
then be used for determining the cause of a problem and the corrective action that should be taken.
Because you can use email or SNMP traps to send alerts, you can manage error information using
the application of your choice without having to log into Replication Manager.

About event logs
Replication Manager allows you to monitor operating information (event logs), including user operations
and the results of automatic refresh operations. You can check the event log data for errors in the
management information, alert settings, or copy pair settings. By analyzing the information, you can
determine the cause of the event and the time that the event occurred. Replication Manager also
outputs data such as the number of management-target pairs to separate event logs after discovery
of the replication environment configuration. You can also view the contents of specific event logs
and export an event log to a file in CSV or HTML format.
