Each row of the SYSREMOTEOPTIONS view describes the values of a SQL Remote message link parameter. Some columns in this view contain potentially sensitive data. For that reason, access to this view is restricted to users with DBA authority. The SYSREMOTEOPTION2 view provides public access to the insensitive data.
The SYSREMOTEOPTIONS view is a SQL Anywhere consolidated view. See "SYSREMOTEOPTIONS consolidated view" in SQL Anywhere Server – SQL Reference.
