There are several issues related to non-Sybase replicate data servers in a Sybase replication system. A successful replication system must address all of the issues for each replicate data server.
Non-Sybase replicate data server issues include:
The requirements of the ECDA database gateway for the non-Sybase data server
The access and permissions required in the replicate data server for the replication system to apply transactions to the replicate database
The connectivity requirements for communication between the replicate data server and other components of the replication system
The limitations on replication into the non-Sybase data server
The intrusion and impact of the database objects required to support Replication Server operations
The replication system management issues specific to the non-Sybase data server
