The documentations says the 'admin stats,backlog' command reports:
"Reports the volume of replicated transactions awaiting distribution in the inbound and outbound queues in terms of segments and blocks."
It's really giving the same output as:
> admin stats, SQM, SQMRBacklogSeg, MY_ASE_SERVER, MyDatabase;
> admin stats, SQM, SQMRBacklogBlock, MY_ASE_SERVER, MyDatabase;
(but for all ASE servers and databases)
Through experimentation, I've figured out that this does not include data waiting in an outbound DSI for subscription replication (going to a replicate ASE server, for example). Ie., "distribution" is used in a narrow repserver sense, not in a general "replicate data to ASE servers" sense.
If so, the option should be named something like "distributor_backlog", not "backlog"
