The Connection Analyzer Chart in replicationEZ

The Connection Analyzer Chart

The Connection Analyzer Chart panel is used in conjunction with the Connection Analyzer grid to give you a visual representation of information from server connection documents.

How to use the Connection Analyzer Chart

In order to generate a chart, you must first run a connection analyzer scan (Tool > Connection Analyzer); you can run it on any server currently open in the Databases panel.

Once the scan is complete, just select a database row in the Connection Analyzer grid to generate a chart based on its connections.
