Controlling the replication of large objects

You can control whether columns that contain unchanged large objects are always included in replicated rows.

By default, columns that contain unchanged large objects are not included in replicated rows. Large object columns are transmitted only when the data is changed.

You can specify to replicate columns that contain unchanged large objects by including the --alwaysRepLOBS=y option in the replicate definition. For example, if your replication system is designed for as a workflow, you must replicate all columns when you move data to the next site in the workflow.

If you want to change how large objects are replicated for an existing replicate, you must delete the replicate and then re-create the replicate.
