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 UDB (on Linux, Microsoft Windows, and UNIX
platforms)
- HANA DB (only as the replicate database)
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.
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, Microsoft
Windows, and UNIX)
- 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 any of the supported databases, 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.
