Siebel Replication Monitor

In a regional Siebel (replicated) environment, this tool monitors successful replication between any two nodes. It keeps defined Siebel users alert (eg. CSO Managers) to the current replication status by pushing message broadcasts to the scrolling Siebel message bar.

Additionally it keeps timestamped daily XLS log files on replication status, so incidents can be investigated retrospectively.

Muliple of these tools can be set up as neccessary to monitor as many pairs of regional nodes as you like. Nodes don’t need to be directly connected. For example in a 3 node configuration, consider a US HQ node having two child nodes in UK and IL, up to 3 sets of tools can be setup monitoring bidirectional USA<->UK, USA<->IL, and UK<->IL replication – the advantage being exact statistics to the second are recorded for each transaction cycle between any two nodes even UK and IL which are not directly connected but routed via USA.

Furthermore, this tool carries none of the overheads of conventional monitoring solutions which ping the Siebel Object Manager and create excessive logging within Siebel – enough to slow or even hang the Application Server, neither does it create a multitude of Siebel records. This tool runs completely externally and does not access any Object Manager functionality.

Additionally the message broadcasts pushed to the messagebar are color-co-ordinated : green is good, amber is warning, and red is alert to attract user attention to slow or problematic replication.

This is an invaluable tool to any Siebel replicated environment, and carries a lot of value for the buck. Where replication issues carries a cost factor, this tool is a must. It has been successfully implemented into a top 100 company for 4 years.
