In Replication Manager 15.1, you can replicate opaque data. Opaque data can store unspecified or inconsistent values such as the anydata datatype of Oracle or the sql_variant datatype of Microsoft SQL Server. This is how Replication Manager supports opaque data:
In a mixed-version replication environment, you can replicate opaque data when the Replication Server is version 15.0.1 or later.
The Replication Manager GUI has been modified. On the Columns tab of the Add New Table Replication Definition window, a new option “opaque” appears on the Replication Definition list in the Datatypes area.
You cannot make columns with opaque data searchable.
The opaque datatype is supported both in function and table replication definitions.
For detailed information about replication of supported datatypes, see the Replication Server Reference Manual.
