Replication Agent User Thread

Replication Server receives all data-change operations or transactions to be replicated from a primary data server through the Replication Agent User thread of the database connection for that data server.

Every primary database that supplies transactions to be replicated must be represented by a Replication Server database connection with an enabled Replication Agent User thread.

Replication Server establishes a connection directly with the primary database, if it resides in an Adaptive Server. If the primary database resides in a non-ASE data server, a separate Replication Agent component communicates with the Replication Server, using a Replication Agent User thread connection, on behalf of the primary database.

Note: Replication Server never attempts to connect to the Replication Agent User thread of a connection. The only entity that can initiate communication to a Replication Agent User thread is the primary data server or the Replication Agent.

On a Replication Agent User thread, the primary data server or Replication Agent is the client, and the primary Replication Server is the server.
