Monitoring replication

Active Roles makes it possible to monitor the status of replication partners. Monitoring allows you to determine whether Active Roles replication is working efficiently and correctly.

To view the status of a replication partner via the Active Roles Console

  1. Connect to any Administration Service within the replication group.

  2. Open the Properties dialog for the replication partner and navigate to the Replication Status tab.

For more information on how to connect to the Administration Service, see Connecting to the Administration Service.

Once connected to the Administration Service, perform the following steps to open the Properties dialog for a replication partner.

To open the Properties dialog for a replication partner

  1. In the Console tree, expand Configuration > Server Configuration, and click Configuration Databases.

  2. In the Details pane, right-click the replication partner, and click Properties.

The Replication Status tab in the Properties dialog provides information about the last replication action of the partner and indicates whether the action completed successfully, failed, or is in progress.

If there are any replication failures in Active Roles, the Active Roles Console displays next to Server Configuration and Configuration Databases containers in the Console tree. This allows you to detect a replication failure without examining individual databases.

For more information on how to monitor the health of Active Roles replication, refer to Active Roles Replication: Best Practices and Troubleshooting.

Always On Availability Groups

To improve the availability of the Active Roles Administration Service, you can use Always On Availability Groups introduced in Microsoft SQL Server 2012. With Always On Availability Groups, SQL Server provides a failover environment known as an availability group for a set of availability databases that fail over together from one SQL Server instance to another. You can add the Active Roles database to an availability group, and have the Administration Service automatically reconnect to the database when the availability group fails over to another SQL Server instance.

An availability group defines a set of availability replicas to host copies of each availability database. Each availability group has at least two availability replicas: a primary and a secondary replica.

The primary replica hosts the read-write copy of each availability database held in the availability group. A secondary replica hosts a read-only copy of each availability database, and serves as a potential failover target for the availability group. During a failover, a secondary replica transitions to the primary role, becoming the new primary replica. The new primary replica brings its databases online as the primary databases for read-write access.

Adding the Active Roles database to an availability group ensures the uninterrupted operation of the Active Roles Administration Service. If a server or software failure occurs on the SQL Server side, the availability group can instantly switch the database to a secondary replica, enabling the Administration Service to reconnect seamlessly to the database in the new location.

For more information about Always On Availability Groups, see AlwaysOn Availability Groups (SQL Server) in the Microsoft SQL documentation.

Configuring AlwaysOn Availability Groups in Active Roles

If you have the Active Roles Administration Service installed, you can configure it to use a database belonging to an Always On availability group (also called an availability database). When configuring Active Roles, you must store the Management History data and Configuration data in separate databases. Each of the two databases (or both) can belong to an availability group.

NOTE: Active Roles does not support the replication of availability databases. Therefore, if the Administration Service is configured to use an availability database (either for the Management History Database or for the Configuration Database), then the data of that database cannot be replicated.

For more information on how to install and configure the Administration Service, see the Active Roles Quick Start Guide.

By using the availability group listener, the Administration Service can connect to the current primary replica of the availability group that holds the Active Roles database without knowing the name of the physical instance of the SQL Server that hosts the primary replica. The listener also enables support for failover redirection. This means that in case of a failover, the listener automatically redirects the Administration Service connection to the new primary replica.

Prerequisites

  • The Active Roles database is added to an Always On availability group on the SQL Server.

    For instructions on how to configure an availability group, and how to add a database to an availability group, see Getting Started with Always On Availability Groups (SQL Server) in the Microsoft SQL documentation.

  • Active Roles replication is not configured for the Configuration data and the Management History data.

To configure the Active Roles Administration Service to connect to the database via the availability group listener

  1. Start the Active Roles Configuration Center on the computer running the Administration Service, or connect the Active Roles Configuration Center to that computer.

  2. On the Active Roles Configuration Center Dashboard, in Administration Service, click Manage Settings.

    The Connection to Database page opens.

  3. To modify the database connection of the Administration Service, in Connection to Database > Active Roles databases, click Change.

  4. If either or both of the databases belong to an availability group in your Active Roles environment, specify the availability group listener. Otherwise, do not change the value of SQL Server.

    1. If the Configuration database belongs to an availability group, enter the DNS host name and, optionally, the TCP port of the listener of that availability group in Connection to Database > SQL Server.

    2. If the Management History database belongs to an availability group, enter the DNS host name and, optionally, the TCP port of the listener of that availability group in Connection to Management History Database > SQL Server.

    The value of SQL Server must be identical to the DNS host name and, optionally, the TCP port of the listener of the availability group to which the database belongs.

    Example: Specifying the availability group listener in the SQL Server

    If the DNS host name of the listener is AGListener and the TCP port used by this listener is 1234, the value is AGListener,1234. You can omit the port number in case of the default port, 1433.

  5. Click Next.

  6. To complete the configuration, follow the instructions of the wizard.

Using database mirroring

Active Roles can use the Microsoft SQL Server database mirroring technology to improve the availability of the Administration Service. Database mirroring provides a standby database server that supports failover. Once the current database server fails, the Administration Service can recover quickly by automatically reconnecting to the standby server.

Database mirroring increases database availability by supporting rapid failover. This technology can be used to maintain two copies of a single Active Roles database on different server instances of SQL Server Database Engine. One server instance serves the database to the Administration Service; this instance is referred to as the Principal server. The other instance acts as a standby server; this instance is referred to as the Mirror server.
