ReplValidator - Analyzing the Results

Analyzing the Results

When the ReplValidator has completed the service record comparisons, the Compare Status column shows whether the service comparison has Passed or Failed and that the test is completed. A test will be marked as PASSED if all records match between the primary and the replicated service. If one or more records differ between the two services the test is marked as FAILED.

The Primary and Repl columns display how many records were checked for each service. The results of the replication validation are output to the Output File specified in the configuration file.

When the Enable Log Viewer Refresh option is checked, the detailed test results will be displayed in the lower pane.
