Describes the Replication Server 15.0 features
that the Replication Manager also supports.
New Datatypes Supported
Replication Manager supports the new datatypes supported by Replication Server 15.0.
DirectConnect Support
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.
Replication Support
Replication Server provides replication at the database, table, and stored procedure levels. Replication Manager allows you to create a replication definition for a database, a table, or a stored procedure.
Management of Route Upgrades
A route is a one-way message stream, carrying replication data, from a source Replication Server to a destination Replication Server. With Replication Server 15.0, you can upgrade routes using the Replication Manager. In earlier versions, the RSM Server provided the route upgrade capability.
Troubleshooting Replication Problems
An environment may occassionally stop replicating data, when a transaction is formatted incorrectly or when a server generates an error. To troubleshoot the situation, view the Replication Server queue data and exceptions log.
Option to Hide Connection Status
You can hide or filter out the status of connections if you do not want to see the connection status either on the individual connection icon or as part of the rollup status for Replication Server.
Warm Standby Wizards
Replication Manager 15.0 introduces three wizards to add logical connections, active database connections, and standby database connections.
Thread Management
Replication Manager displays the state of the threads in the Replication Server.
