Read a summary of the changes to the topics that have been updated to fix documentation errors in version 15.6.
Guide Name (Primary Source of Information) | Updated Topic | Summary of Changes |
---|---|---|
Heterogeneous Replication Guide | See Heterogeneous Replication Guide > Replication System Overview > Replication System Non-ASE Configurations > ASE Server Primary to Non-ASE Server Replicate. | With Replication Server 15.5 and later, use ExpressConnect for Oracle to replicate to Oracle databases. |
Administration Guide Volume 2 | See:
|
DSI bulk-copy-in supports Oracle as well as Adaptive Server. |
See Reference Manual > Replication Server Commands > alter connection. |
The correct description of dsi_bulk_copy: Turns the bulk-copy-in feature on or off for a connection. If dynamic_sql and dsi_bulk_copy are both on, Replication Server applies bulk copy-in when appropriate and uses dynamic SQL if Replication Server cannot use bulk copy-in. |
|
Reference Manual | See Reference Manual > Replication Server Commands > alter connection. |
Included the valid values for dsi_max_cmds_to_log. Default: -1 (all commands) Valid values: 0 to 2147483647 |
Administration Guide Volume 2 | See Administration Guide Volume 2 > Performance Tuning > Dynamic SQL for Enhanced Replication Server Performance > replicate minimal columns with Dynamic SQL. | Clarified the impact of replicate_minimal_columns when the update does not change values in the updated row. This parameter can affect trigger processing if you expect triggers to fire even if there is no change in values to any columns in the row. |
Reference Manual | See Reference Manual > Replication Server Commands > create connection using profile. |
version is a mandatory attribute in create connection using profile. |
Reference Manual | See dsi_command_convert in Reference Manual > Replication Server Commands > alter connection. | You need not set dsi_compile_enable on to use dsi_command_convert. |
Heterogeneous Replication Guide | See Heterogeneous Replication Guide > Oracle Replicate Databases Resynchronization > Configuring Database Resynchronization > Reinitializing the Replicate Database. | After you apply the dump from the primary database or dump source to the replicate database, reinitialize the replicate database to restore users, tables, and permissions that the dump removed. |
Reference Manual | See Reference Manual > RSSD Stored Procedures > rs_ticket. |
You cannot replicate rs_ticket. |
Administration Guide Volume 2 | See Administration Guide Volume 2 > Replication System Recovery > Replicate Database Resynchronization for Adaptive Server > Database Resynchronization Scenarios > Resynchronizing Using a Third-party Dump Utility. | You must specify a valid hexadecimal value for oqid to mark the end of the dump database position in step 6. |
Configuration Guide for UNIX |
See Configuration Guide for UNIX > Upgrade or Downgrade Replication Server > Upgrading Replication Server > Upgrading an RSSD or an ERSSD . |
In step 4, the command to revoke the "sa" role after the upgrade process is finished, is incorrect. It should be:
sp_role 'revoke', sa_role, primary_user |
Reference Manual | See replicate minimal columns in Reference Manual > Replication Server Commands > alter connection. Also see:
|
If your replication definition has replicate all columns and the replicate_minimal_ columns connection property is set to on, the connection replicates minimal columns and overrides your replication definition. To replicate all columns to your target database, even if there is no change to the column values for the row, set replicate_minimal_ columns values for the DSI connection to off. |
Reference Manual | See Reference Manual > Topics > Datatypes > Exact Numeric (Decimal) Datatypes. | Numeric datatypes in where clauses of replication definition must include decimal precision information. |
Release Bulletin | See Release Bulletin > Installation and Upgrade > Special Upgrade and Downgrade Instructions > Upgrading from Replication Server Version 15.5 to Version 15.6. | Upgrading from Replication Server version 15.5 to version 15.6 has been simplified. See Upgrading from Replication Server Version 15.5 to Version 15.6. |
Administration Guide Volume 2 | See Administration Guide Volume 2 > Performance Tuning > Replication Server - Advanced Services Option > High Volume Adaptive Replication to Adaptive Server > HVAR Processing and Limitations. This change also applies to real-time loading (RTL). See:
|
The description of trigger actions in the first bulleted item in HVAR Processing and Limitations in the Administration Guide Volume 2, and in RTL Processing and Limitations in the New Features Guide and Heterogeneous Replication Guide, may be misleading. Insert triggers do not fire as the HVAR and RTL process performs a bulk load of net new rows into the table directly. update and delete triggers continue to fire when Replication Server applies the net results of compilation to the replicate database. However, row modifications that Replication Server compiles, and that are no longer in the net results, are invisible to the triggers. Triggers can detect only the final row images. |
