Propagation error handling is specified at the CDDS level; when defining your CDDS you must specify which propagation error mode you want to use. The method the servers use to handle an error detected while transmitting information depends on the error mode.

For all propagation error modes, when a server detects an error it does the following:

• Logs the error, thereby increasing the error count

For more information on the role of the server in error handling, see Error Handling.

• Issues e-mail messages to any users on the mail notification list

• For more information on the mail notification list, see Create a Mail Notification List.

Note: E-mail error notification is not available on Windows. Using the -NML server flag also turns off error notification. For more information, see the chapter "Using the Replicatior Server."
