SAP ASE version 12.5 and later can generate data wider than what Replication Server version 12.1 and earlier can handle. If RepAgent passes wide data to Replication Server 12.1 or earlier, Replication Server threads may shut down.
RepAgent communicates with Replication Server using Log Transfer Language (LTL). When the RepAgent connects to Replication Server, it returns an LTL version.
|
Replication Server version |
LTL version |
|---|---|
|
12.1 and earlier |
< 400 |
|
12.5 and later |
>= 400 |
If Replication Server returns an LTL version less than 400, RepAgent uses the setting of the data limits filter mode option to determine how to treat wide data.
stop – RepAgent shuts down when it encounters data too wide for Replication Server to process (the default when the LTL version is less than 400).
skip – RepAgent ignores data too wide for Replication Server to process, and logs an informational message.
truncate – RepAgent truncates wide data so that Replication Server can process it. If the table or stored procedures has more than 250 columns or parameters, only the first 250 columns or parameters are sent. If the column or parameter is wider than 255 bytes, only the first 255 bytes are sent.
off – RepAgent sends wide data to the Replication Server; Replication Server threads may shut down.
This table shows column and width limits for Replication Server 12.1 and earlier and Replication Server 12.5 and later:
