Is there anything that cannot be replicated? Smartblobs? Types of blobs? ALter table limitations? I think IDS 10 can replicate alter tables but notaltering the columns being replicated! Add that? grant/revokes/roles/procedures/triggers...any limitations there? What does Oracle/MS SQL Server have that Informix does not? Finally a GUI to view the replication topology..and handle replication failures. A gui to monitor replication performance as well...ism_watch has backup speed in Mb/s. A gui with server+links+link utilisation in Mb/s! An easy way to spot bottlenecks. A way to spot link failures between sites. Surely IDS servers can send link failure info around the sites that are still connected to the server you run the gui against! Also more ways (onstat?? or something else?) to look at the internals of replication. How busy the threadas are, whether they need tuning or not..parameters to tune the number of replication threads.
