Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server uses the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) protocol for communications with all replication system components.
Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server connects to Microsoft SQL Server using the JDBC driver provided with the Sybase Replication Agent software.
Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server uses Sybase jConnect for JDBC to communicate with the primary Replication Server and its RSSD.
While replicating transactions and function invocations, Replication Agent maintains connections with both the primary database and the primary Replication Server. In addition, Replication Agent occasionally connects to the RSSD of the primary Replication Server to retrieve replication definition data.
For more information about Replication Agent communications, see Chapter 1, “Introduction to Sybase Replication Agent,” in this book.
