Ok, I got all my keywords listed in the title.

I have two feature datasets in what I call transaction SDE, they are versioned, with attribute domains and subtypes, and some have annotation related. This is my editing environment.

I want to replicate these datasets to a publication SDE environment, which are not open for any editing, but there will be spatial and table views built using these datasets, and the views will be consumed by other apps.

If I understand correctly, sde views can not be built on versioned data.  So, it seems that my Pub environment (aka child gdb) has to be non-versioned data.  Then my only option seems to be making my one way replication "simple" model.  I've been trying to setup this simple model replication all different ways but it doesn't get all my transaction(parent) data layers replicated.  It seems those with related annotation don't get replicated.  Attribute domains also seems to give it trouble. 

Does anybody have good ideas?  Can Simple model work with related annotations?  If I can only use Full model replication,  what could I do with sde views on my versioned child datasets?

all my SDEs are on Linux, oracle 11gR2, ArcSDE 10 sp5, and I am using direct connect.  There is no geometric network, no topology in the parent datasets, but have related annotations, attribute domains and subtypes.  The parent SDE are versioned and allow editing.  The goal is to have the child(publication) synched with changes, and spatial/table views working.  Is this too complicated? or am I missing something.  Thank you very much!

A few details about what I did in testing:
1. I am able to create Full model one way replications on my datasets without problem.  All feature layers and annotations get replicated into the child gdb; they are also versioned in the child as expected.

2. Then I setup sde views on these versioned child. However when I edit the parent data & synch the changes to child, the views don't get updated.  That's why I think the sde spatial/table views don't work with versioned dataset.

3. when I tried simple model for the one way replication, some layers got replicated, but those with related annotations didn't.

4. I deleted all the annotation relationships, and re-did simple model replication, these layers still didn't get replicated.

I tried with both ArcToolbox and ArcMap's "create Replica" wizard/tool.

Thanks a lot.
