I started replicating system stored procedures in my MSA environment due to the fact that commands such as sp_rename was not making it to my MSA server. This caused some issues downstream resulting in the DSI goign down and having to manually apply these statements on the target server.
My question is, are there any cons/drawback to enabling such option
In reading the manual one of the requirements was that
- Make sure that both the primary and replicate data servers are the same version of Adaptive Server.
I am Replication from Sybase Cluster Edition 15.7 SP131 to Sybase SMP 15.7 SP131. So far I have not encountered any issues but I don't like surprises.
Other requirements are met
- When replicating DDL – the primary and replicate databases must have the same login names and passwords; the DSI uses the original server login name and password to log in to the replicate database.
For me the logins are identical on both servers so this is not an issue
To replicate DDL and system procedures:
- Mark the primary database using sp_reptostandby.
- Set the RepAgent parameter send warm standby xacts to true—even if there is no standby database
I also have a warm standby setup and I am using the logical connection as the primary dataserver so these conditions are also met
Thanks
