SQL Remote components
The following components are required for SQL Remote:
♦ Data server An Adaptive Server Anywhere or Adaptive Server
Enterprise database-management system is required at each site to
maintain the data.
♦ Message Agent A SQL Remote Message Agent is required at the
consolidated site and at each remote site to send and receive SQL Remote
messages.
The Message Agent connects to the data server by a client/server
connection. It may run on the same machine as the data server or on a
different machine.
♦ Database extraction utility The extraction utility is used to prepare
remote databases from a consolidated database, during development and
testing, and also at deployment time.
♦ Message system client software SQL Remote uses existing message
systems to transport replication messages. A file-sharing “message
system” is provided, which does not require client software. Each
computer involved in SQL Remote replication using a message system
other than file sharing must have that message system installed.
♦ Client applications The applications that work with SQL Remote
databases are standard client/server database applications.
