Setting Replication Start and Finish Alerts (CLI)

The volume of start and finish alerts for scheduled updates can obscure other important alerts. Use this procedure to disable or enable replication start and finish alerts.

Finish alerts provide statistics about each replication update. In the CLI, the stats node of a replication action provides statistics for the most recently completed update or for accumulated totals for this replication action.

1. Go to configuration services replication, and enter the get command.

   hostname:> configuration services replication
   hostname:configuration services replication> get
                         <status> = online
       enable_start_finish_alerts = true

2. Disable or enable posting start/finish alerts.

   • To disable start/finish alerts, set the value of the enable_start_finish_alerts property to false.

     hostname:configuration services replication> set enable_start_finish_alerts=false
         enable_start_finish_alerts = false (uncommitted)
     hostname:configuration services replication> commit

   • To enable start/finish alerts, set the value of the enable_start_finish_alerts property to true.

     To view alerts, enter maintenance logs, and then enter select alert and show.

3. Re-enter the get command to confirm that the value is correct.
