To define the replicate database to the primary Replication Server, you must create a connection from the primary Replication Server to the replicate database. Replication Server manages and distributes transactions to the replicate database.
You can create a connection to the replicate database in two ways, depending on the type of database it is:
Automatically, for ASE databases, using the Replication Server rs_init utility, or
Manually, for all other databases, using the Replication Server create connection command
For information on creating a connection to the non-ASE replicate database, see the Replication Server Heterogeneous Replication Guide.
