With version 15.5, Replication Server extends the replicate_minimal_columns parameter to connections in all situations, so that the Data Server Interface (DSI) can use the parameter to determine whether to use minimal columns when there is no replication definition, or when the replication definition does not contain the replicate minimal columns clause.
In Replication Server versions earlier than 15.5, you could only use replicate_minimal_columns in warm standby situations.
For example, to enable replicate_minimal_columns for the connection to the pubs2 database in the SYDNEY_DS data server, enter:
alter connection to SYDNEY_DS.pubs2 set replicate_minimal_columns to ‘on’
Use admin config to display replicate_minimal_columns configuration information to verify that version 15.5 extends the parameter to connections.
