A replicate data server manages a database that contains replicate data, which is data that is a “copy” of the data in a primary database.
Replication Server maintains the data in a replicate data server by logging in as a database user. In the case of non-Sybase data servers, Replication Server logs in to the replicate data server through a database gateway server.
Replication Server can treat any system as a data server if it supports a set of required data operations and transaction processing directives, either directly (such as Adaptive Server Enterprise) or indirectly (such as a Enterprise Connect Data Access database gateway server).
For more information about replicate data servers and Enterprise Connect Data Access database gateway servers, see “Replicate data servers”.
