Administering Monitoring and Logging

This topic describes how to monitor Siebel Servers and how to manage data that Replication Manager logs in the transaction log table.

Monitoring the Regional Siebel Servers

This topic describes how to monitor the regional Siebel Servers.

To monitor the regional Siebel Servers

• To monitor server components and the movement of data between regional nodes and the parent node, use the following screens in the administrative interface:

  • Administration - Siebel Remote

  • Administration - Server Management

It is also recommended that you monitor disk space availability.

Reducing the Transaction Log Table by Expiring Obsolete Transaction Processor Tasks

It is strongly recommended that you periodically expire each obsolete Transaction Processor task. A Transaction Processor task can become obsolete in the following situations:

• Replication Manager starts a Transaction Processor task on the Siebel Server but then does not use it

• Replication Manager starts a Transaction Processor task and then you uninstall the Siebel Server

• After an upgrade

For more information, see Troubleshooting a Large Transaction Backlog Problem.

To reduce the transaction log table by expiring obsolete transaction processors

1. Log in to the Siebel Server with administrator privileges.

   For more information, see Logging in to the Siebel Database as an Administrator.

2. Navigate to the Administration - Siebel Remote screen, and then the Processor Status view.

3. In the Transaction Processors list, choose the obsolete Transaction Processor.

4. In the End Date field, enter an end date that has already occurred.
