Viewing the state of the Multimaster Mesh

The Multimaster Tools show you the status of transactions between each pair of facilities in your SA deployment. They also allow you to resolve any conflicts that occur. You can view details about all the transactions between facilities in the Multimaster Mesh as follows:

1. In the SA Client, select the Administration tab.
2. Under the Multimaster Tools node, select the State View. This displays a table showing all your facilities (each facility corresponds to an SA core) and the state of all transactions between each pair of facilities. The following table shows the meanings of the color codes in the state view.

Multimaster Transaction State Color Codes

Transaction Color	Transaction State
Blue	Sent - Lists the number of transactions successfully sent to other facilities.
Green	Received - Lists the number of transactions successfully received by the facility.
Purple	Not Sent - One or more transactions in the facility have not yet been sent to the other facilities in the mesh.
Yellow	Not Received - One or more transactions sent from another facility have not yet been received by the facility.
Red	Conflict - One or more conflicts have occurred.

3. To view details about all the conflicting transactions, select the Conflict View in the navigation bar. This displays details about each transaction including the following:
   • Transaction—This is a transaction identifier and a link where you can get more detailed information about the conflicting transaction.
   • Action—This describes what the transaction consists of; for example, database updates, inserts, and deletes.
   • Table—This lists the database table affected by the transaction.
   • Count—This lists how many actions were performed on the database elements.
   • User—This lists the SA user who performed the action that resulted in the conflict. Contact this person to verify what they were attempting to do so you can accurately resolve the conflict.
   • Created Time—This is the date and time when the transaction occurred.
   • Source Facility—This is the core from which the transaction was sent.
   • Conflicting Facility—These are the cores where the transaction was received and where the conflict was detected.
4. To view details about a specific transaction conflict, select the Transaction link. This displays details about the selected transaction.
   • Table—This shows the SA database table where the conflict occurred.
   • DB Field—This shows all the SA database field names in the database table where the conflict occurred.
   • Facility columns—The remaining columns are for each facility in your SA deployment. Each column lists the values in the corresponding facility. Wherever a conflict occurred, the values are shown in red text.
5. To resolve conflicts, see Resolving mesh conflicts .

The following figure shows the multimaster mesh state view, with no conflicts. All three cores in the multimaster mesh—London, Paris, and Vienna—are up to date. All changes in all cores have been successfully sent to all other cores.

The following figure shows the mesh state view with no conflicts, but two changes have been made in two cores and are about to be propagated to the other cores. Two changes have been made to the London core and two changes have been made to the Vienna core.

The following figure shows the mesh state view with two conflicts, in the London core and in the Vienna core. The London core has a conflict with the Vienna core, and the Vienna core has a conflict with both the London and Paris cores. To resolve conflicts, see Resolving mesh conflicts .
