Good morning,

This morning I opened up enterprise manager (sql Server 2000) and noticed a
blue return arrow looking icon on the Replication Monitor folder. When I
opened up Replication monitor I observed the same blue return arrow looking
icon on the publishers and agents folders. What is the significance of this
icon? How do I remove it?

When I get a red X icon I just restart the distribution agent and refresh
everythihg and the red x goes away. What do I need to do for this blue arrow
icon?

Thanks,

Rich

Hi Paul,

Thank you for getting back to me on this. In the Agent History, the Last
action (11/28/06) says No Replicated Transactions are available. Is there a
site anywhere that explains what the various alert icons signify? This way I
can use the standardized lingo to describe what I am seeing.

It is still a little bit early over my way, and customers haven't been
calling about any problems (yet). Do I need to do anything or will this
resolve itself? We have, been having some connectivity problems in recent
times. But usually, I get a big red x when that happens. I restart the
Distribution Agent and it goes away.

Well, I just refreshed the replication monitor and the blue arrow Icon did in
fact go away. At least it wasn't a big red x.

Rich,
do you mean the retrying icon? What is the message of the agent's history?
(I get this message when experiencing connectivity problems).
