SQL Remote User's Guide

Managing SQL Remote permissions
REMOTE and CONSOLIDATE permissions are very similar. Each database receiving messages from the current database must have an associated user ID on the current database that is granted one of REMOTE or CONSOLIDATE permissions. This user ID represents the receiving database in the current database.
Databases directly below the current database on a SQL Remote hierarchy are granted REMOTE permissions, and the at most one database above the current database in the hierarchy is granted CONSOLIDATE permissions.
For Adaptive Server Anywhere, the GRANT REMOTE and GRANT CONSOLIDATE statements identify the message system and address to which replication messages must be sent.
For Adaptive Server Enterprise, the sp_grant_remote procedure sets REMOTE permissions, and the sp_grant_consolidate procedure sets CONSOLIDATE permissions.
CONSOLIDATE permissions must be granted even from read-only remote databases to the consolidated database, as receipt confirmations are sent back from the remote databases to the consolidated database. The GRANT CONSOLIDATE statement at remote Adaptive Server Anywhere databases is executed automatically by the database extraction utility.
