Options

Select which Merge Agent sessions to view from the View menu, and then select a specific session in the grid labeled Sessions of the Merge Agent. Detailed information on this session is displayed in the grid labeled Actions in the selected session. If the selected session ended in an error, the text area labeled Error details or message of the selected session is also displayed.
