In version 15.0, the Replication Manager manages a component that represents a Sybase DirectConnect data access server. The DirectConnect server acts as an Open Server gateway by converting the Open Client/Server protocol used by Replication Server to the native communication protocol used by the non-Sybase replicate database.
In Sybase Central, the DirectConnect data access server is managed as any other object in the replication environment. The Replication Manager displays the state on the icon of the DirectConnect data access server and on the parent object’s Detail list. The state of the server reflects whether the server is available and the state of the back-end data servers.
In version 15.0, the Replication Manager neither displays the error log nor sets configuration parameters for DirectConnect.
