Replicating on Heterogeneous Hardware

Enterprise Replication supports all primitive data types across heterogeneous hardware. If you define a replicate that includes non-primitive data types (for example, BYTE and TEXT data), the application must resolve data-representation issues that are architecture dependent.

If you use floating-point data types with heterogeneous hardware, you might need to use IEEE floating point or canonical format for the data transfers. For more information, see Using the IEEE Floating Point or Canonical Format.
