Log-based Replication Agent

The Replication Agent for UDB is a log-based Replication Agent, unlike the Sybase Replication Agent implementations for Microsoft SQL Server.

Because of its log-based implementation, and because of differences in the behavior of the IBM DB2 Universal Database server compared to other data servers supported by Sybase Replication Agent, the Replication Agent for UDB uses different methods to acquire transaction information from the primary database. In addition, a few of the common Sybase Replication Agent features either work differently or are not available with the Replication Agent for UDB.
