Replication Server version 12.0 and later includes Heterogeneous Datatype Support (HDS). This means that you can now use DB2 date, time, and timestamp datatypes without having to map them to ASE datatypes.
If you have an existing DB2 database configured as a
replicate database with an earlier version of Replication Server,
do not install the DB2 function strings provided with Replication
Server version 12. The new function strings may not be compatible
with earlier versions of these function strings, so you should continue
using the earlier versions of the DB2 function strings with Replication
Server version 12 and its HDS feature.
For more information on setting up Replication Server and the HDS feature, see the Replication Server Configuration Guide.
