If the volume of errors reaches a certain point (the default is 100), the Replicator Server shuts down to maintain the integrity of the system and to allow you to troubleshoot problems. The server automatically keeps track of its error count. You can control at what point the server shuts down by specifying a number that represents the maximum error count in the Maximum Error (-EMXn) flag.

If the error count of the server reaches the maximum error count, the server is automatically shut down. Each time the server is started, the error count of the server is reset to 0. If collision resolution is set on your system, be sure to increase the error count maximum to accommodate collision errors. Each collision, even if resolved automatically, counts as an error.

To change the maximum error count at any time, use one of the following methods:

Visual DBA and Performance Monitor: Use the Performance Monitor Raise Events page. For more information, see the Raising Events at the Server Level topic in Visual DBA or Visual Performance Monitor online help.

Replicator Manager: Use the (see page Send Database Event Window in Replicator Manager.
