| Diane,
Yes, we can do what your customer wants, provided that the source
database is Oracle Rdb and the target database is either Oracle Rdb or
Oracle Rdbms.
To create such an "archive" transfer, use the following SQL syntax:
CREATE TRANSFER name-of-transfer TYPE IS REPLICATION WITH NO DELETE
...
When a row of data is deleted from a souce table, that change is
replicated to the target table. However, we do not delete the target
row. Instead, the deletion is marked in a special column added to the
target table, the DDAL$DBKEY column.

We are looking at the possibility of extending this "archiving"
capability to non-Oracle target systems, such as, MS SQL Server.
Right now, the implementation we use will not work because of the way
we mark target rows as having been deleted in the source. We have a
possible solution, but I don't know if we'll have time to investigate
it for inclusion in ROR 7.0.
