Microsoft SQL Server-Specific Considerations

These general issues and considerations are specific to using Replication Agent with the Microsoft SQL Server data server.

Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server reads the Microsoft SQL Server primary database log. To read the database log, Replication Agent must be installed where it can directly access the log files. Because the machine on which Replication Agent is installed must be of the same hardware and operating system as the machine on which the primary database resides, Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server is available only on the Windows platform. The term “Windows” refers to all supported Microsoft Windows platforms. For a complete list of supported platforms, see the Replication Agent Installation Guide.
