Hello,

We have multiple global sites replicating to North America site. Is there any way to identify and email to the DBAs if replication is down from any site? I wrote a job which would check and inform if replication has any error (using sysjobs). How would I find if publisher's server rebooted or someone stops the replication and forgets to restart.

I would appreciate your help.

Thanks,
-P

You can collect the output of msdb..sp_help_job, and check the current_execution_status column. I am not certain what happens when SQLAgent is not running, though. I would expect the jobs would all show as not running in that case, though. As with everything, test it for every case you can think of, and a couple others.

With the jobs you have setup, you can use notification to send email to you and output as well. You can use Replication monitor to see the status.
