Sybase Replication Agent supports transaction replication from a primary database through Replication Server. This section describes Sybase Replication Agent functionality in detail.
See the release bulletin for Sybase Replication Agent version 15.0
for information on the specific versions of DB2 Universal Database,
Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle that Sybase Replication Agent supports.
Sybase Replication Agent runs as a standalone application, independent of the primary data server, the primary Replication Server, and any other replication system components.
Trigger-based Replication Agents can reside on the same host machine as the primary database or any other replication system component; or, they can reside on a machine separate from any other replication system components that has network access to the primary database. Log-based Replication Agents must execute on a machine that has access to the primary database's transaction log files.
Sybase Replication Agent is compatible with Replication Server Manager (RSM). Replication Agent instances can be configured, managed, and monitored by RSM. In addition, you can completely configure, manage, and monitor a Replication Agent instance using any Open Client™ application that is capable of communicating with the Sybase Tabular Data Stream™ (TDS) protocol (such as isql).
