Replication Server 15.5 introduces several usability and process enhancements.
Enhanced Replication Definition Change Request Process
Replication Server 15.5 includes enhancements for requesting changes to replication definitions that automatically coordinate the propagation of replication definition changes and data replication.
Replication Delay
Replication Server 15.5 lets you delay replication by a fixed period of time.
Replicate Database Resynchronization
Database resynchronization allows you to rematerialize your replicate database and resume further replication without data loss or inconsistency, and without forcing a quiesce of your primary database.
Row Count Validation Changes
Replication Server 15.5 changes the default error actions for the 5185 and 5187 error numbers from “warn” to “stop replication” and adds 5203 for Replication Server error classes.
Toolset for Implementing a Reference Replication Environment
Replication Server 15.5 includes a toolset for quickly setting up a reference implementation of Adaptive Server to Adaptive Server and Oracle to Oracle replication using the products available in your environment. A reference replication environment lets you collect statistics to identify performance issues, and demonstrates Replication Server features and functionalities.
Enhanced admin who Command
Replication Server 15.5 lets you specify connection identifiers when you execute admin who on any thread module.
Database Generation Number Reset
