Replication Server® Options are used with Replication Server for replication across distributed non-Sybase® databases to enable different operational and decision-support tasks.
Replication Server Options contain the replication components for
replication with one of these databases:
- Oracle
- Microsoft SQL Server
- IBM DB2 Universal Database (on Linux, UNIX, and Microsoft
Windows platforms)
Note:
You can use these replication components to implement replication on
the Microsoft Windows and UNIX platforms. To replicate from DB2 for z/OS, you must
have Replication Agent™ for DB2 for z/OS, which is sold separately from Replication
Server Options. However, you can use the ECDA Option for ODBC that is included in
Replication Server Options to replicate into DB2 for z/OS or DB2 for AS/400.
The Replication Server Options and their components are:
- Replication Server Option for Oracle:
- Replication Agent for Oracle
- ExpressConnect for Oracle
- Replication Server Option for Microsoft SQL Server:
- Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server
- ECDA Option for ODBC
- Replication Server Option for IBM DB2 UDB:
- Replication Agent for IBM DB2 UDB (Linux, UNIX and Windows)
- ECDA Option for ODBC
Replication Server Options are available separately from Replication
Server. However, to implement the solutions described in this document,
you must have both the Replication Server Options and Replication
Server.
With Replication Server and one or more Replication Server Options, you can:
- Replicate data across heterogeneous environments using various
non-Sybase databases (DB2 UDB, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle),
allowing data to be shared among different operational and decision-support
systems without affecting business performance.
- Integrate disparate business systems, including legacy data, into a
coordinated, easily accessed, and powerful corporate business enterprise.
