Log Transfer Manager receives relevant database transactions from log extracts. LTM for MVS translates this information into Log Transfer Language (LTL), and sends these LTL statements through a connection to Replication Server.
LTM for MVS contains the following interfaces:
Replication API (Replication Application Program Interface, LTMAPI)
Sybase Open ClientConnect™ routines that allow LTM for MVS to communicate with Replication Server
Figure 1-3: LTM for MVS components
LTM for MVS translates the transaction information received from Replication Extract into Log Transfer Language (LTL), and sends these LTL statements to the primary Replication Server.
Replication Server holds the LTL statements in a stable queue, transforms these transactions (usually into SQL, according to user instructions), and passes the transformed transaction information to the replicate Replication Servers or replicate database(s) for processing.
