The ASE Replicator Publisher component interacts with the primary database and the Distribution Database to:
Read the primary database’s Adaptive Server transaction log to acquire primary transaction data and metadata for published tables and published stored procedures
Build transaction operation metadata to be stored in the Distribution Database transaction log table
Write the transaction operation metadata to the transaction log table, and write the transaction data to the shadow table (or tables)
Update the locator value that identifies the last successfully published transaction in the primary database’s transaction log, and manage the primary database’s truncation point
