The Replication Server objects include connections, replication definitions, subscriptions, and queues.
For non-Sybase data servers, RM uses DirectConnect to communicate with the data servers and to act as an interface for RM. The status of DirectConnect is reflected in the status of the non-Sybase data server.
RM does not support database replication definition, database subscription, and creation of logical connection for non-Sybase data servers.
