Function-String Efficiency Improvements

Replication Server 15.5 includes enhancements to function-string processing commands, stored procedures, and a system table to allow you to identify specific function strings that do not need to be applied to replicate databases.

In versions earlier than 15.5, Replication Server executes all function strings for all replicate databases although many of these function strings, such as those without output commands, do not apply to non-ASE databases. Preventing these function strings from being executed reduces processing overhead and simplifies the replication environment.

Modification to Function-String Processing Commands
Replication Server 15.5 extends the scope of the none parameter to apply to all functions, and provides the flexibility to identify which function strings Replication Server can avoid executing on replicate databases.
Modification to Stored Procedures
Replication Server 15.5 extends the rs_helpfstring and rs_helpclassfstring stored procedures to support the enhancements to function string processing.
Modification to rs_funcstrings System Table
Replication Server 15.5 adds the 0x08 bit to the attributes column in the rs_funcstrings table to support the function string enhancements.
