Managing primary and replicate articles

Articles identify the database objects affected by replicated transactions. Primary articles identify the source of replicated transactions, which are objects in the primary database. Replicate articles subscribe to primary articles and identify the destinations of replicated transactions, which are objects in the replicate database.

Table 3-5 lists the ASE Replicator procedures you can use to manage primary and replicate articles.
