Upgrading Replication Agent for Oracle

Replication Agent for Oracle 15.2 must be installed on the same host on which the primary Oracle server is running to directly access the Oracle transaction log files.

Using any of the upgrade procedures described in this section, the new Replication Agent for Oracle 15.2 instances will have the same configuration as previously existing instances, including instance names, administrative user IDs and passwords, and administrative port numbers.

NoteReplication Agent for Oracle 15.2 does not support downgrading Replication Agent for Oracle 15.2 to an earlier log-based version.

NoteFor upgrades within a common release level, as in the case of an ESD applied to a particular version of Replication Agent, you should use the ra_admin -u option applied to a particular instance of Replication Agent or to all instances of Replication Agent. See the Replication Agent Administration Guide.
