Replication Server, Replication Agent, and Adaptive Server
use C/SI to communicate over a network. In addition, Replication
Server uses routes and connections to send messages to other Replication
Servers and databases.
Interfaces File
Server programs such as data servers, Replication Servers, and Replication Agents are registered in an interfaces file (sql.ini in Windows and interfaces in UNIX) or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server so that client applications and other server programs can locate them.
Routes and Connections
Routes and connections allow Replication Servers to send messages to each other and to send commands to databases.
