You can use request functions to invoke stored procedures on primary data. Request functions allow clients at remote sites to update primary data without accessing the primary database directly. Replication Server invokes a stored procedure on the primary database, which carries out the requested transactions. This method preserves the basic primary copy model while letting you distribute transactions. You do not have to fragment primary data among replicate sites.
The following two examples illustrate:
A system that uses request functions
A system that uses request functions, applied functions, and a local pending table
