Replication Server Gateway

Replication Server 15.2 introduces Replication Server gateway, which minimizes explicit login to the different servers.

In managing a replication system, the replication system administrator (RSA) must log in to multiple replication servers, ID Servers, and the corresponding Replication Server System Database (RSSD). The RSA must also frequently switch logins between Replication Server and the RSSD.

The Replication Server gateway uses your RSSD primary user name and password to log in to RSSD, your ID Server user name and password to log in to ID Server, your remote server identification (RSI) to log in to a remote Replication Server, and your maintenance user ID to log in to the remote Adaptive Server. You need not supply this information more than once, when you access Replication Server itself.

• Cascading Connection
  The Replication Server gateway supports cascading connections, which allow your Replication Server to communicate with servers it is not directly connected to.
• Command to Enable Replication Server Gateway
  The connect command has been added to turn Replication Server into a gateway to its RSSD, ID Server, or to a remote Replication Server.
• Commands to Track Connections
  Cascaded connections created in the gateway are kept in a connection stack, with the Replication Server that issued the first connect command placed at the bottom of the stack. Use show connection and show server commands to manage your cascaded connections.
• Command to Drop Connection
  Use disconnect command to terminate a connection to a server.
