Replication manager

Use a graphical user interface to configure, control, and monitor data replication

Abstract

Replication Manager configures, controls, and monitors replication from a central location. It delegates the actual work of replication to the FairCom servers that contain and replicate data. This approach allows you to manage replication centrally while it runs locally.

The Replication Manager includes a visual browser-based graphical interface for configuring, controlling, and monitoring replication and failover across clusters of servers.

Figure 1. Replication management

The Replication Manager includes APIs that configure, control, and monitor replication and failover across clusters of servers:

Section	Description
Centralized management	Replication Manager runs on a central server or cluster that is independent of the servers it manages.
Distributed replication	replication plans are stored in its central database and on each participating FairCom server.
Manage replication from your browser	Replication Manager provides direct administrator control from your web browser for remote configuration, management, and monitoring.
Manage replication with direct APIs	Replication Manager provides a full-featured API for the most demanding environments.
Deployment models	This section describes the two solutions for which replication can be deployed.
How to replicate data using Replication Manager	This section describes the steps required to quickly create a replication plan visually through your browser interface.
Monitor replication	This section describes the Replication Manager logs, ways to monitor specific plans with your browser, scripted monitoring tools, and exception log.
