We currently use replication to get data from our GP SQL server to another SQL server so we can use it for our CRM program. The problem with this is that replication alters the table structure so we can no longer run a program like CDA so we can archive our companies.
We looked at log shipping, but my DBA is telling me there is a delay between the time data is written to the GP server and the time the logs are applied to our CRM SQL server and that delay is too long for our needs.
Are there any other options that we should look at?
What's the smallest time delay we can have with log shipping?
