Heterogeneous Multi-Path Replication

Replication Server 15.7.1 extends supports for Multi-Path Replication to replication systems with heterogeneous databases.

As of Replication Server 15.7, you can distribute transactions over multiple replication paths from a primary Adaptive Server database to Replication Server, through dedicated routes between Replication Servers and over multiple connections to a replicate Adaptive Server database. See Replication Server > Administration Guide Volume 2 > Performance Tuning > Multi-Path Replication.

In version 15.7.1, you can build multiple replication paths and dedicated routes between databases such as Adaptive Server and Sybase IQ, and Adaptive Server and Oracle.

See Replication Server Heterogeneous Replication Guide > Sybase IQ as Replicate Data Server > Multi-Path Replication to Sybase IQ to configue multipath replication to Sybase IQ databases. See Replication Server Heterogeneous Replication Guide > Heterogeneous Multi-Path Replication for heterogeneous multipath replication scenarios.

Supported Heterogeneous Database Multipath Replication Systems

Primary and Replicate Database Pairs Supported in Heterogeneous Multipath Replication Systems
Primary Database	Replicate Database
Adaptive Server	Sybase IQ
Oracle	Sybase IQ
Adaptive Server	Oracle
Oracle	Adaptive Server
Oracle	Oracle

Note: Replication from an Oracle primary database requires the Replication Agent for Oracle which is included in Replication Server Options.
