Problems that prevent replication from starting do not always result in an error message. For example, a Mirror Activator component may not recognize a configuration problem that prevents replication from starting.
In a functioning Mirror Activator system—one that has previously replicated transactions successfully—most system problems result in an error message from one or more of the system’s components.

Use the diagnostic and troubleshooting tips in the following sections to identify and correct the cause of a Mirror Activator system problem:
