  Key Concepts: 
  Data replication is a process of copying data from one database to another.

In SAP Replication Server, data replication is used to replicate data between different databases, such as Oracle, SQL Server, and Sybase. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data replication in SAP Replication Server is done using the Replication Server Administration (RSA) tool. This tool allows users to configure the replication process, set up replication tasks, and monitor the progress of the replication process. The RSA tool also provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for managing the replication process.
