Syntax

ra_helpdb

When ra_helpdb is invoked, it returns the following information about the primary database:
- Database object ID
- Database name
The database ID and database name are the values returned by the primary database when Replication Agent is initialized with the pdb_xlog init command.
The ra_helpdb command is valid when the Replication Agent instance is in the Admin, Replicating, or Replication Down state.
The ra_helpdb command is valid only after the RASD has been initialized, that is, only after you have executed pdb_xlog init.
