In Replication Manager, you can replicate opaque data. Opaque data can store unspecified or inconsistent values such as the anydata datatype of Oracle or the sql_variant datatype of Microsoft SQL Server. This is how Replication Manager supports opaque data:
In a mixed-version replication environment, you can replicate opaque data when the Replication Server is version 15.0.1 or later.
You cannot make columns with opaque data searchable.
The opaque datatype is supported both in function and table replication definitions.
See Working with opaque datatypes to select the datatype in Replication Manager.
See “opaque datatypes,” in Chapter 2, “Topics” in the Replication Server Reference Manual
