Data class where the status information is being kept is ResourceAssociation
Here is a simple query to get the status:
select * from inv_aex_ac_identification as ac
JOIN ResourceAssociation AS ra5 ON ra5.[ParentResourceGuid] = ac.[_resourceGuid] AND ra5.[ResourceAssociationTypeGuid] = '3028166F-C0D6-41d8-9CB7-F64852E0FD01' -- Asset Status
JOIN vItem AS ser ON ser.[Guid] = ra5. [ChildResourceGuid]
Anyway I do not think you can set the custom replication rule to replicate that.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? You want to speed up the process or the status is not replicated even during the regular replication?
You might consider to use Symantec Workflow and custom right click action to change status directly on the parent form the child server. It would also give you possibility to use more statuses than Active and Retired but it would be time consuming to set it up.
