RDRS utility · Operations automation
Keep RDRS replication running.
CCA RDRS Script Monitor gives operations teams an automated watch over the scripts that keep data moving. It checks script health on a configurable schedule, restarts recoverable failures and escalates persistent issues through existing operational workflows—before stalled scripts disrupt the flow of data.

Overview
Operational resilience,
built into RDRS.
Developed from CCA Software’s hands-on experience supporting enterprise RDRS environments, Script Monitor automates the repetitive work of checking, restarting and escalating critical data scripts. It distinguishes genuine failures from intentional stops and gives operations teams a controlled path from detection to recovery or human intervention.
Reduce manual monitoring
Automate routine script-health checks instead of relying on operators to continually inspect the RDRS environment.
Recover sooner
Automatically restart recoverable failures while keeping sensible limits around repeated recovery attempts.
Escalate with clarity
When an issue persists, notify the appropriate team through established monitoring and escalation processes.
How it works
A continuous operational watch over every critical data script.
Script Monitor runs as a scheduled RDRS job—typically every minute—and checks the server-side scripts responsible for receiving, reading and applying replicated data.
Monitor
Continuously check the operational state of selected RDRS data scripts.
Interpret
Distinguish unexpected failures from intentional stops and planned maintenance.
Recover
Automatically restart recoverable failures within configured operational limits.
Escalate
Notify the appropriate operations team when controlled recovery is unsuccessful.
Scripts monitored
Receive data
Monitor scripts responsible for receiving data from remote sources.
Read transaction logs
Monitor scripts that read source database transaction logs.
Apply replicated data
Monitor scripts that process and apply replicated data to the target environment.
Remote HOST manager SEND scripts are monitored through their corresponding RECV scripts, extending visibility across connected replication processes.
Operational value
Less operational noise.
Faster, more consistent response.
RDRS replication pipelines depend on multiple scripts working together. Script Monitor provides a consistent first response: identify the script state, respect intentional stops, attempt controlled recovery and escalate only when intervention is required.
Automate the routine response while keeping people in control of persistent or exceptional failures.
Key capabilities
Move from detection to informed action.
Build recovery, escalation and operational visibility into the RDRS scripts that keep replication pipelines flowing.
Automated recovery
Restart recoverable script failures automatically, reducing the need for immediate manual intervention.
Controlled retry limits
Apply configurable limits so persistent problems are escalated instead of restarted indefinitely.
Intentional-stop recognition
Recognise deliberate script stops and avoid unnecessary recovery attempts.
Maintenance awareness
Suspend routine monitoring during planned maintenance to prevent unnecessary alerts.
Automatic state reset
Return monitoring to its normal state after successful execution so resolved issues stay resolved.
Configurable logging
Retain the operational history your organisation needs without overwhelming routine records.
Connectivity monitoring
Optionally verify connectivity across remote and mainframe replication links.
Monitoring integration
Surface persistent issues through established enterprise monitoring and operational workflows.
Integration
Works with the monitoring environment you already have.
Script Monitor complements existing operational processes rather than replacing them. Persistent failures can be surfaced through established monitoring platforms, allowing teams to manage RDRS script health alongside the rest of their technology environment.

Configuration & deployment
Fit monitoring into the RDRS environment you already run.
Script Monitor is deployed within the existing RDRS environment and scheduled through the RDRS scheduler. It does not require a separate monitoring platform or an additional operational interface.
- Assess the RDRS environment and the replication processes that require monitoring.
- Select the scripts, monitoring frequency and recovery policies appropriate for operations.
- Deploy Script Monitor through the existing RDRS environment and scheduler.
- Connect escalation to established monitoring and operational workflows.
Make RDRS script health an operational certainty.
Reduce routine monitoring effort, recover from common failures sooner and give your operations team a clearer path to intervention when it matters.
