The Replication History Chart in replicationEZ

The Replication History Chart

To generate a Replication History chart, right-click a database in the Main Grid and choose Load Replication History Chart from the right-click menu.

Alternatively, if you have databases loaded in the Replication History Panel, you can also right-click any of them and choose Load Replication History Chart from the contextual menu.



Next, the Replication History Chart Options dialog opens to let you customize or filter your chart. (The Options dialog is explained below).
To skip this dialog, hold the Ctrl key when you click on Load Replication History Chart .

Once loaded, a chart will be displayed in the Replication History Chart panel.
Each large node represents a database replica; the smaller nodes are the transition (showing the date and time of the last replication); the lines represent the replication linkages between replicas.
