Conventions

Illustrations in this book use icons to represent these components of a data enterprise system:

  • For Adaptive Server Enterprise/other data servers:

    raster

    This icon represents either an Adaptive Server Enterprise (Adaptive Server) or a non-Sybase data server. If the data server in an example must be Adaptive Server, the data server icon is labeled "Adaptive Server."

  • For Replication Server®:

    raster

    This icon represents Replication Server, the Sybase program that maintains replicated data on a local-area network (LAN) and processes data transactions received from other Replication Servers on the wide-area network (WAN).

  • For Replication Agent(TM):

    raster

    This icon represents a replication agent, a replication system process that transfers transaction information from a database to a Replication Server for distribution to other databases.

    Every database from which you replicate data requires a replication agent specific to the database. Adaptive Server has its own replication agent thread, RepAgent. Replication agents for all other data servers are separate processes. This icon represents a replication agent that is a separate process.

  • For DirectConnect(TM):

    raster

    This icon represents a DirectConnect data access server. DirectConnect servers connect LAN-based clients and heterogeneous data servers. Enterprise Data Studio provides DirectConnect servers for Adaptive Server® Anywhere, Informix, and Oracle data servers.

  • For ASE/CIS:

    raster

    This icon represents ASE/CIS. When combined with the appropriate DirectConnect server, ASE/CIS provides transparent read/write access to database systems such as DB2, Informix, and Oracle.

  • For client applications:

    raster

    This icon represents a client application. A client application is a user process or application connected to a data server. It may be a front-end application program executed by a user or a program that executes as an extension of the system.
