Replicate Java Columns

You can replicate Java columns stored in your primary database to your standby and replicate databases.

Replication Server passes Java objects through the replication system in serialized format without altering the Java objects in any way. See Java in Adaptive Server Enterprise for complete information about Java classes in the Adaptive Server database.

• Restrictions to Replicating Java Columns
  Although you prepare replication definitions and subscriptions for Java columns in the usual manner, be aware of the restrictions that apply.
• Upgrade Considerations
  After you have upgraded the current Replication Server and set its site version to the current release, the Replication Manager route upgrade feature copies the replication definitions with Java columns from upstream Replication Servers to the current Replication Server.
• Java Datatypes in Replication Server
  Java columns pass through the replication system as one of two Replication Server datatypes.
• Create Replication Definitions for Java Columns
  You can create replication definitions for Java columns using create replication definition and the rawobject and rawobject in row datatypes.
• Function Strings for Java Columns
  Replication Server uses the rs_raw_object_serialization function string to pass Java columns to the replicate database in serialized format, which allows Replication Server to update Java columns directly.
