Replication System Components

Replication Server, Replication Agent, and Adaptive Server use C/SI to communicate over a network. In addition, Replication Server uses routes and connections to send messages to other Replication Servers and databases.

• Interfaces File
  Server programs such as data servers, Replication Servers, and Replication Agents are registered in an interfaces file (sql.ini in Windows and interfaces in UNIX) or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server so that client applications and other server programs can locate them.
• Routes and Connections
  Routes and connections allow Replication Servers to send messages to each other and to send commands to databases.
