Each Filter tab lets you replicate all or replicate none, or filter replication for tables, functions, transactions, and system procedures.
For example, selecting Replicate All Tables on the Table Filters tab replicates all tables in the database; selecting No Tables Replicated replicates no tables.
This list describes each Filter tab:
Table Filters – lists all tables in the database. You can select tables to exclude from replication or to specifically include in replication. An edit box lets you enter the names of tables manually.
For example, you can use the owner.tablename form, or use the asterisk (*) wildcard character to designate all tables that belong to a certain owner (owner.*), or all tables of a given name belonging to any owner (*.tablename). You can also use a space(' ') to designate null or no owner (' '.name), or to designate null or no name (owner.' ').
If you want to designate all the tables that have a name publisher, regardless of who owns them, designate *.publisher.
Transaction Filters – lets you enter the exact SQL transaction names that you want to exclude from replication or those you want to specifically include in replication.
For example, if you want to designate all the transactions that have no or a null name and were executed by maintuser, designate maintuser.' '. To designate a transaction named my_tran from any user, designate my_tran or *.my_tran. To designate a transaction named my_tran from a user named userA, designate userA.my_tran. To designate any transaction from a user named userA, designate userA.*.
Function Filters – lists all stored procedures in the database. You can select the procedures you want to exclude from replication, or those you want to specifically include in replication.
System Procedure Filters – lists all Adaptive Server Enterprise system procedures that are supported by Replication Server. You can select the procedures you want to exclude from replication or those you want to specifically include in replication.
