Replication Agent creates objects in the primary database to assist with replication tasks.
There are two variables in Replication
Agent database object names:
-
prefix – represents the one- to
three-character string value of the ra_admin_instance_prefix parameter (the default is ra_).
-
xxx – represents an alphanumeric counter,
a string of characters that is (or may be) added to a table name to make
that name unique in the database.
The value of ra_admin_instance_prefix is the prefix string used in all
Replication Agent system object names.
If this value conflicts with the names of existing database objects in your primary
database, you can change the value of ra_admin_instance_prefix by
using the ra_config command.
Note:
Replication Agent uses the value of ra_admin_instance_prefix to
find its objects in the primary database. If you change the value of
ra_admin_instance_prefix after you create the Replication
Agent objects, the Replication Agent instance cannot find the objects that use the
old prefix.
Use the ra_admin command to view the names of Replication Agent
objects in the primary database.
See the Replication Agent Administration Guide for
details on setting up replication object names.
