Although ASE Replicator provides a basic replication facility for Adaptive Server Enterprise, it is not a comprehensive replication solution.
There are some applications for which ASE Replicator is neither intended nor well suited. These include:
Warm standby systems
High-volume replication systems
Scalable, enterprise-wide data distribution
Complex and customizable subscription resolution
Customizable, user-defined datatype translation
Support for heterogeneous replication (for example, DB2 to Adaptive Server)
To support such high-performance replication requirements, Sybase provides the Replication Server® product and Heterogeneous Replication Options product sets.
The following sections describe some specific limitations of the ASE Replicator feature.
Adaptive Server allows non-unique table names in a database, so a specific table must be identified by a qualified object name. ASE Replicator does not fully support qualified object names when identifying primary tables to be published.
If you use owner-qualification to identify a specific table to be published, the table identified by the qualified object name is published, but thereafter, you cannot publish any other tables that have the same name, with a different owner, in that database.
ASE Replicator does not support replicating Java objects.
