Replication Log, PC Shutdown

Question

If a computer is shutdown before replication has completed, does it show up in the replication log? If so, how does it show in the replication log?

Answer 1

Hi Jonathan,
No, a system shutdown won't be explicitly recorded in the dbremote output / console log. dbremote entries typically look like this between dbremote runs (shut down / start-up):
     I. 2014-04-24 16:41:06. Execution completed
     I. 2014-04-24 16:41:09. SQL Remote Message Agent Version 16.0.0.1824
System Shutdowns / Start-ups are recorded in the "System" Event log on Microsoft Windows:
     Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System
Look for 'Kernel-General' entries:
     ===========================================
     Log Name:      System
     Source:        Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-General
     Date:          23/4/2014 5:08:31 PM
     Event ID:      13
     Task Category: None
     Level:         Information
     Keywords:     
     User:          N/A
     Computer:      hostname
     Description:
     The operating system is shutting down at system time 2014-04-23T21:08:31.001823500Z.
