Sybase Replication Agent supports transaction replication from a primary database through Replication Server. This section describes Sybase Replication Agent function in detail.
See the release bulletin for Sybase Replication Agent version 12.5
for information on the specific versions of DB2
Universal Database, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle supported
by Sybase Replication Agent.
Sybase Replication Agent runs as a stand-alone application, independent of the primary database server, the primary Replication Server, and any other replication system components.
Sybase Replication Agent can reside on the same host machine as the primary database or any other replication system component, or it can reside on a machine separate from any other replication system components.
Sybase Replication Agent is compatible with Replication Server Manager (RSM). Replication Agent instances can be configured, managed, and monitored by RSM. In addition, you can completely configure, manage, and monitor a Replication Agent instance using any Open Client application that is capable of communicating with the Sybase Tabular Data Stream (TDS) protocol (such as isql).
