Determining the type of Replication Server application you build will in part determine the type of replication strategy you use to implement the application. Chapter 3, “Implementation Strategies” covers various replication scenarios.
Replication Server supports the following basic application types:
Decision support
Distributed online transaction processing (OLTP)
Remote OLTP using request functions
Warm standby
Each of these application types differs in the way it updates primary data and in the way it distributes primary and replicated data within the replication system.
