The Replication Server system tables are loaded into the RSSD during Replication Server installation. System tables hold information that Replication Server requires to send and receive replicated data, and include:
Descriptions of replicated data and related information
Security records for Replication Server users
Routing information for other sites
Access methods for the local databases
Other administrative information
Refer to Chapter 8, “Replication Server System Tables,” in the Replication Server Reference Manual for a comprehensive list of system tables.
System table contents are modified during Replication Server activities, such as the execution of RCL commands or Sybase Central procedures. Only the replication system administrator, or members of the rs_systabgroup group, can alter the system tables.
To query the system tables and find status information:
Use Sybase Central to view replication system details and properties.
Use Replication Server system information or system administration commands. See “System Information Commands” and “System Administration Commands” in Chapter 1, “Introduction to the Replication Command Language,” in the Replication Server Reference Manual.
Use Adaptive Server stored procedures to display information about the replication system. Refer to Chapter 5, “Adaptive Server Commands and System Procedures” in the Replication Server Reference Manual.
WARNING! RSSD tables are for internal use by Replication Server only. You should never modify RSSD tables directly unless directed by Sybase Technical Support.
