Understanding notification categories
Notification categories are used when setting notifications in Management Console. You can use notifications when you want to be actively notified of a condition in your replication environment.
There are five types of notification categories:
- Scrape/Refresh
- Events that occur when CDC Replication scrapes or refreshes data from your source datastore.
- Apply
- Events that occur during the target apply process. For example, CDC Replication can generate a message when there is failure to apply on the target table.
- Communications
- Events that can occur from communication between source and the target datastores. For example, CDC Replication can generate a message when there is a failure to create a TCP/IP socket.
- Environment
- Events generated when requirements for a basic replication environment are not met. For example, CDC Replication can generate a message when it cannot connect to a database, or when permissions have not been set.
- Journal/Log Maintenance Events
- Events generated when CDC Replication reads the journal or during log maintenance.
