CH A PTE R1Introducing Replication ServerOptionsThis chapter introduces the Replication Server Options.TopicWhat are the Replication Server Options?Descriptions of option componentsPage13Description of Sybase CentralDescription of Replication Server66Note Before ECDA 12.5, its options were sold as individualDirectConnect products named “DirectConnect for [target].” Other thanin the installer, you will see the name “DirectConnect” used in thesoftware and in documents, including this document.What are the Replication Server Options?The Replication Server Options are available separately from ReplicationServer. Therefore, you must have the Replication Server Options inaddition to Replication Server to implement the solutions described in thisdocument.The Replication Server Options can be used with Replication Server forbidirectional replication across distributed, heterogeneous systems toenable different operational and decision-support tasks.The four Replication Server Options contain the replication componentsnecessary for replication with one of the following databases:Overview Guide DB2 Universal Database (on UNIX and Microsoft Windowsplatforms) Informix Dynamic Server1

What are the Replication Server Options? Microsoft SQL Server OracleNote These replication components can be used to implement bidirectionalreplication on the Microsoft Windows and UNIX platforms. To implement abidirectional replication solution for DB2 UDB for OS/390 or a unidirectionalsolution for AS/400, you must have Replication Agent for DB2 for MVS andDirectConnect for DB2 UDB for AS/400, respectively. These products are soldseparately from the Replication Server Options.The set of components necessary for bidirectional replication consists of aReplication Agent for the primary database platform, a DirectConnect for thereplicate database platform, and an ASE.Figure 1-1 illustrates the Replication Server Option components available.Figure 1-1: Components of the four Replication Server OptionsReplication Server Option for IBM DB2UDB (UNIX and NT)Replication Agentfor IBM DB2 UDB(UNIX and NT)2ASEDirectConnectfor DB2 UDBReplication Server Option for InformixReplication Agentfor InformixASEDirectConnectfor InformixReplication Server Option for MicrosoftSQL ServerReplication Server Option for OracleReplication Agent ASEfor Microsoft SQLServerReplication Agentfor OracleDirectConnectfor MicrosoftSQL ServerASEDirectConnectfor OracleReplication Server Options

CHAPTER 1Introducing Replication Server OptionsThe ASE included with a Replication Server Option is used for storing theReplication Server System Database (RSSD).Note Replication for DB2 in OS/390 is performed by Replication Agent forDB2 for MVS, which is not included in the Replication Server Options. Forinformation on Replication Agent for DB2 for MVS, refer to thedocumentation for that product.With Replication Server and one or more Replication Server Options, you canperform the following tasks: Manage your replication system and Sybase components using the SybaseCentral GUI Replicate data across heterogeneous environments using numerousdatabases (DB2 UDB, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle),allowing data to be shared among different operational and decisionsupport systems without affecting business performance Integrate disparate business systems, including legacy data, into acoordinated, easily accessed, and powerful corporate business enterpriseDescriptions of option componentsThis section describes each of the following components of Replication ServerOptions: Sybase Replication Agent Enterprise Connect Data Access Adaptive Server EnterpriseFor special instructions on installing option components, refer to theReplication Server Options Release Bulletin.Sybase Replication AgentSybase Replication Agent captures transactions in the primary database andthen transfers them to Replication Server for distribution to replicate databases.Overview Guide3

Descriptions of option componentsSybase Replication Agent extends the capabilities of Replication Server byallowing non-Sybase database servers to be primary data servers in a Sybasereplication system.Replication Agent reads the primary database transaction log and generatesLog Transfer Language (LTL). Replication Server uses LTL to process anddistribute replicated transactions through a replication system.Sybase ReplicationAgent configurationsEach Replication Server option contains the Replication Agent suitable for aparticular platform: Sybase Replication Agent for UDB – retrieves transactions from a DB2Universal Database primary database on UNIX and Microsoft Windowsplatforms. Sybase Replication Agent for Informix – retrieves transactions from anInformix primary database. Sybase Replication Agent for Microsoft SQL Server – retrievestransactions from a Microsoft SQL Server primary database. Sybase Replication Agent for Oracle – retrieves transactions from anOracle primary database.In addition to the four main components, Replication Agent has anadministration port that provides an administrative user interface.StandaloneapplicationSybase Replication Agent runs as a standalone application, independent of theprimary database server, the primary Replication Server, and other componentsof a replication system.Sybase Replication Agent can reside on the same host machine as any othercomponent of the replication system, or it can reside on a machine that isseparate from other replication system components.Sybase ReplicationAgent managementSybase Replication Agent instances can be configured, managed, andmonitored by Replication Server Manager (RSM). In addition, you cancompletely configure, manage, and monitor a Sybase Replication Agentinstance using any Open Client application (such as isql) that is capable ofcommunicating with the Sybase Tabular Data Stream (TDS) protocol.For more information on Replication Agent, see the documentation specific tothat product.4Replication Server Options

CHAPTER 1Introducing Replication Server OptionsEnterprise Connect Data AccessEnterprise Connect Data Access (ECDA) is an integrated set of softwareapplications and connectivity tools that you use to access data within aheterogeneous database environment. ECDA gives you the ability to access avariety of LAN-based, non-Sybase data sources, as well as mainframe datasources. It consists of components that provide transparent data access withinan enterprise.ECDA components allow applications to interact with non-Sybase DBMSs,such as DB2 UDB, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle, as well asSybase DBMSs, including Adaptive Server and Sybase IQ.DirectConnectDirectConnect is the ECDA component that provides basic connectivity tonon-Sybase data sources. In particular, it provides access management,transaction management, and remote systems management throughDirectConnect Manager.DirectConnect consists of a server and one or more access service libraries,which have specific sets of configuration properties. The server provides theframework in which the service libraries operate. Each access service libraryaccesses data from a particular target database, such as DB2 UDB, Informix,Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle.DirectConnect serversDirectConnectManagerECDA includes these DirectConnect servers: DirectConnect for DB2 UDB, which provides connectivity to DB2 UDBrunning on z/OS, AS400, NT, and UNIX platforms DirectConnect for Informix, which provides connectivity to Informixdatabase servers DirectConnect for Microsoft SQL Server, which provides connectivity toMicrosoft SQL Server databases DirectConnect for Oracle, which provides connectivity to Oracle databaseserversYou can use the DirectConnect plug-in for Sybase Central, calledDirectConnect Manager, to configure, manage, and control your data accessenvironment. To learn how to use Sybase Central to manage DirectConnect,see the DirectConnect Manager online help.For more information on DirectConnect, see the documentation specific to thatproduct.Overview Guide5

Description of Sybase CentralAdaptive Server EnterpriseAdaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is the relational database server in theSybase client-server architecture used in mission-critical, transaction-intensiveenterprise environments.The ASE distributed with DirectConnect is used for storing the RSSD.For more information about ASE, see What's New in Sybase Adaptive ServerEnterprise?.Adaptive Server plugin to Sybase CentralThe Adaptive Server plug-in for Sybase Central allows you to manage theinstallation and administration of ASE using the Sybase Central graphicalmanagement tool. To learn how to use Sybase Central to manage ASE, see theAdaptive Server plug-in online help.Description of Sybase CentralSybase Central is a graphical tool that provides a common interface formanaging Sybase products. Each server product is managed by a serviceprovider “plug-in” that operates in parallel with other service providers in theSybase Central framework. Sybase Central runs on Microsoft Windows.Sybase Central displays a visual representation of servers and provides a pointand-click interface for choosing options. Plug-ins use Sybase Central JavaEdition, a Java-based viewer.In addition to the base product and options, the following server plug-ins areprovided: Adaptive Server Enterprise plug-in – lets you manage and monitor allAdaptive Server installations. DirectConnect Manager – lets you manage DirectConnect serversthroughout your business environment.Description of Replication ServerThe Replication Server Options are available separately from ReplicationServer. You must already have Replication Server to obtain the ReplicationServer Options and to implement the functionality described in this chapter.6Replication Server Options
