Functions

Replication Server uses two major types of functions.

You can create custom function strings for either type of function, depending on your needs.

• System Functions
  System functions represent data server operations that use function strings supplied by Replication Server or are available when you install a new database on the replication system.
• User-Defined Functions
  User-defined functions allow you to use Replication Server to distribute replicated stored procedures between sites in the replication system.
• Function Scope
  The scope of a function defines the object to which the function applies: a replication definition or a function-string class.
