Users that have been granted control rights for a particular replication stream can execute control commands on the processes within that stream directly from the Instance Detail window. In the case of Capture, Read, and Post processes, users can also execute commands from the menu bar in the Process Detail window. SharePlex Manager currently supports the following control commands:

To execute control commands from the Instance Detail window, open the drop-down menu next to the process and select the command you want to execute.

Viewing, Clearing and Ignoring Events

SharePlex Manager allows you to view the SharePlex event log generated for the associated SharePlex instance. Also, you can use SharePlex Manager to remove or ignore clearable error and warning messages from event logs. Clearing messages removes them from the status database, but still retains them in the overall event log, which helps keeps the log up-to-date with the most current information. Ignoring an event, on the other hand, configures SharePlex Manager to stop issuing warning and error alerts for the event but does not remove the event itself from the status database.

To view, clear and ignore events, you must have control permissions for the replication stream that the SharePlex instance belongs to.

Viewing Events

In SharePlex Manager, Oracle event logs are instance-specific, which means there are not separate logs for replication streams or individual processes. To view an event log, either click the log icon in the Events column in the Instance Overview or Instance Details window, or click View Event Log in an Event Details window. This opens the Oracle event log for the associated instance. In the Replication Overview window, the Event Details window features a separate View Event Log button for each instance in the replication stream.

Clearing Events

You can remove clearable errors and warnings from an Oracle event log. Clearable events are indicated by a corresponding checkbox in an Event Details window. Clear the events you want by selecting the corresponding checkbox of each event and clicking Clear Events.
