Replicating encrypted data

If your site replicates schema changes, the following DDL statements are replicated:

The keys are replicated in encrypted form.

If your system does not replicate DDL, manually synchronize encryption keys at the replicate site. ddlgen supports a special form of create encryption key for replicating the key’s value. See “ddlgen utility extensions for encrypted columns”.

For DML replications, the insert and update commands replicate encrypted columns in encrypted form, which safeguards replicated data while Replication Server processes it in stable queues on disk.

Replication Server release 12.6 ESD # 5 and later supports encrypted columns.

See the Replication Server Administration Guide for information on using encryption during replication.
