The prefix string used in database object names to identify Replication Agent transaction log objects.
When Replication Agent generates database object names for transaction log components in the primary database, it uses the value of the pdb_xlog_prefix parameter as an object name prefix.
Replication Agent uses the value of the pdb_xlog_prefix parameter to recognize its transaction log objects in the primary database. Therefore, if you change the value of the pdb_xlog_prefix parameter after the transaction log objects are created, Replication Agent will not be able to find its transaction log objects.
The value of the pdb_xlog_prefix_chars parameter specifies the non-alphabetic characters that can be used in the prefix string.
