Non-Adaptive Server Replication Support Enhancements

Replication Server 15.2 includes several enhancements to installation, configuration, and overall usability of setting up replication environments that include actively supported non-Adaptive Server Enterprise (non-ASE) data servers.

These enhancements automate the installation and configuration process by providing a pre-configured Replication Server environment that enables replication involving actively supported non-ASE data servers to be up and running quickly.

Actively supported data servers are data servers for which Sybase provides all the required software, documentation, and support for the data servers to serve as both a primary or a replicate data server. See the Replication Agent Release Bulletin for your platform for the list of actively supported non-ASE data servers.

For more information on support for non-ASE data servers, see the Replication Server Heterogeneous Replication Guide and the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1.

• Simplified Installation and Configuration
  With Replication Server 15.2, you do not need to edit and execute scripts to install datatype definitions, function strings, and class-level translations for heterogeneous (non-ASE) datatype support.
• Connection Profiles
  With Replication Server 15.2, you can use connection profiles that contain connection configurations and replicate database object definitions relevant to each type of actively supported non-ASE data server. Connection profiles specify the function-string class, error class, and class-level translations to be installed.
