Replication Server coordinates data replication activities for local databases and exchanges data with Replication Servers that manage data at other sites. A Replication Server:
Receives transactions from primary databases and distributes them to subscribing replicate databases
Receives requests for data updates from a replicate database and applies them to a primary database
See “Replication Server internal processing” on page 131 in the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 for more information about the internal elements of the Replication Server.
