pdb_archive_path

Identifies the directory path where the Replication Agent expects to find archived redo log files (for Oracle) or archived transaction log files (for UDB). When archived redo log files or archived transaction log files are stored in the file system, the configuration parameter is set to a file system path.

<not configured>

For Oracle, a valid directory path on the machine hosting the Replication Agent that points to a location where Oracle places the archived redo log files. For example,

ORACLE_HOME\oradata\orcl\archive

For Oracle, when archived redo log files are stored in Oracle ASM, the configuration parameter must be set to the name of the ASM disk group where the archived redo log files are stored. The disk group name must be preceded with a plus “+” sign to specify the archive redo log path as an ASM disk group. For example,

+dgroup_01

For UDB, a valid directory path on disk, as defined by the UDB LOGARCHMETH1 or LOGARCHMETH2 database configuration parameter, when it is configured to DISK. For example,

<path>

• Setting of the configuration parameter is required when configuration property pdb_include_archives is set to true, and must be set to a valid location before the Replication Agent can be placed in a replicating state.

• If the Replication Agent cannot find an expected log record in the Oracle online redo logs, the Replication Agent will search this directory for the archived log file containing the required record.

• For UDB, pdb_archive_path must be configured before pdb_archive_remove is enabled (set to true).When pdb_archive_remove property is set to true, Replication Agent for UDB truncates the archived log files from the location specified by pdb_archive_path.
