Shareplex reads the log files.... so if you can't get the log files
over the existing line, Shareplex can't read them.
have you considered using an NFS mounted disk for your archive log
directory?
or a process that copies the archived logs to the nfs mounted disk on
the primary and a another process that copies them off the nfs mounted
disk on the secondary?
I had to do something like that when I worked with Sybase, back in the
4.7 days, so that I could "backup" the log files realtime.
