The Replication History Panel

replicationEZ offers the ability to access the replication history across multiple Domino servers. This is a practical way to determine which databases have been replicating with each other and when this replication has been taking place.

The Replication History panel uses a grid-type inferface which offers the standard grouping, filtering, customization and exportation options available in all Ytria tools' grids.

The following two commands are available:
'Load Replication History' (Reset Replication History grid): This option will retrieve replication histories but also clear any information that's currently loaded in the Replication History panel.
'Load Replication History' (Append and/or Refresh Replication History grid): This option will also retrieve histories for the selected replicas, but add them to any currently listed in the Replication History panel.
