Create and alter
functions, function strings, and function-string classes to allow
replication definitions to work with database servers other than
Adaptive Server.
Functions, Function Strings, and Function-string Classes
Replication Server translates commands from the primary database into Replication Server functions that represent data server operations such as insert, delete, select, begin transaction, and so on. It distributes these functions to remote Replication Servers in the system, where they execute those operations in remote databases.
Function-String Classes
Each function string belongs to a function-string class, which groups function strings intended to be used with databases of a similar type or with similar requirements.
Manage Function-String Classes
Managing function-string classes includes creating, assigning, and dropping function-string classes.
Manage Function Strings
Each destination Replication Server uses function strings to convert the functions to commands that are appropriate for the destination data server (such as Adaptive Server) before it submits these commands.
Display Function-Related Information
Use the Replication Server admin command or Adaptive Server stored procedures to obtain information about existing function strings and classes in your replication system.
Default System Variable
Use the default system variable, rs_default_fs, to extend and customize function strings.
