This section describes the schema and details of the Replication Agent transaction
log for a Microsoft SQL Server database. For more general information,
see the Sybase Replication Agent Administration Guide.
Replication Agent uses its own proprietary transaction log to capture and record transactions in the primary database for replication. The Replication Agent transaction log consists of a set of shadow tables, stored procedures, and triggers that are created in the primary database.
The Replication Agent transaction log is created by invoking the pdb_xlog command with the create keyword. When you invoke this command, Replication Agent generates a SQL script that is run in the primary database. This script (stored in the create.sql file in the RAX-15_0\inst_name\scripts\xlog directory) creates the Replication Agent transaction log components referred to as the transaction log base objects. The transaction log base objects must be created before any objects can be marked for replication in the primary database.
