Replication Server Gateway

With version 15.2, Replication Server introduces Replication Server gateway, which minimizes explicit login into the different servers, and makes managing a replication system easier.

In managing a replication system, the replication system administrator (RSA) must log in to multiple replication servers, ID servers, and the corresponding Replication Server System Database (RSSD). The RSA must also frequently switch logins between Replication Server and the RSSD.

The Replication Server gateway uses your RSSD primary user name and password to log in to RSSD, your ID server user name and password to log into ID Server, your remote server identification (RSI) to log into a remote Replication Server, and your maintenance user ID to log into the remote Adaptive Server. You do not need to supply this information more than once, when you access Replication Server itself.

• Cascading Connection
  The Replication Server gateway also supports cascading connections, which allow your Replication Server to communicate with servers that it is not directly connected to.
• Enable the Replication Server Gateway
  Use the connect command to turn Replication Server into a gateway to its RSSD, ID server, or to a remote Replication Server.
• Track Connections
  Use show connection and show server to manage your cascaded connection.
• Drop Connections
  Use disconnect command to terminate a connection to a server.
• Limitations to Replication Server Gateway
  When using Replication Server gateway, the client and the server must use the same locale set because Replication Server cannot perform character set conversion.
