SAP Replication Server uses sort order, or collating sequence, to
determine how character data and identifiers are compared and ordered. SAP
Replication Server supports all SAP-supported sort orders, including non-binary sort
orders. Non-binary sort orders are necessary for the correct ordering of character
data and identifiers in European languages.
You specify sort orders with the RS_sortorder
parameter in the SAP Replication Server configuration file. You can
specify any SAP-supported sort order that is compatible with your
character set.
For replication to work properly, all sort orders in your
replication system should be the same.
rs_get_sortorder System Function
Each time SAP Replication Server connects to a data server, it executes rs_get_sortorder, which obtains
the sort order used by the data server. If it is not what is
expected, SAP Replication Server prints a warning message to the
error log file.
