Reduce the Use of Replication Definitions and Subscriptions

In a replication system containing only Adaptive Server databases, you can reduce the need for replication definitions and subscriptions for tables and stored procedures in a warm standby or multisite availability (MSA) environment.

• Primary Key Columns and Quoted Table or Column Names
  RepAgent for Adaptive Server uses Log Transfer Language (LTL) to specify a table or column name that may be quoted, and whether a table column is part of the table primary key. Since RepAgent sends the primary key and quoted identifier information to Replication Server, you do not need a replication definition if the sole purpose of the replication definition is to specify primary key and quoted identifier information, in a replication system that contains only Adaptive Server databases.
• Target-Scope Customized Function Strings
  In a replication system containing only Adaptive Server databases, you need not create a replication definition for a primary table or stored procedure in a warm standby environment or multisite availability (MSA) environment if the sole purpose of the replication definition is to specify a customized function string for the replicate or standby table or stored procedure.
• Configuring the Replication System to Reduce Replication Definitions
  Configure the replication system to reduce replication definitions in an Adaptive Server warm standby or multisite availability environment.
