The naming convention for replication definitions is changed to present the replication definition names in a more readable format.
The naming convention for replication definition is:
ra$<rs_source_ds>_<rs_source_db>_<owner>_<objname>
where:
ra$ is the prefix for all replication definition names.
<rs_source_ds> is the value of the rs_source_ds parameter.
<rs_source_db> is the value of the rs_source_db parameter.
<owner> is the user name of the object owner in primary database.
<objname> is the object name in primary database.
The maximum length of the replication definition name is 255 characters. Replication Agent truncates the name exceeding 255 characters. It also replaces the last n characters of the replication definition name with the object ID in hexadecimal format, where n is the length of the object ID in hexadecimal.
See the Replication Agent 15.7.1 SP100 Reference Manual.
