Replication
Agent for Oracle 15.7.1 SP100 does not have to be installed on the same machine as the
primary Oracle data server.
Using
any of the upgrade procedures described here, the new Replication Agent for Oracle
15.7.1 SP100 instances will have the same configuration as previously
existing instances, including instance names, administrative user IDs and passwords, and
administrative port numbers.
Replication Agent for Oracle 15.7.1 SP100 does not have to be installed on
the same machine as the primary Oracle data server. However:
- Replication Agent for Oracle must be installed on a host that has
access to Oracle LogMiner.
- If Replication Agent for Oracle is configured to automatically
truncate Oracle logs, it must be installed on a machine that has direct access
to the Oracle logs.
If you install Replication Agent for
Oracle 15.7.1 SP100 on the same host on which the primary Oracle server is running, you must:
- Obtain a local copy of the Oracle timezone file, so Replication Agent can
correctly process the Oracle timestamp with timezone
datatype.
- Configure the pdb_timezone_file parameter.
Note:
For upgrades within a common release level, as in the case of an ESD
applied to a particular version of Replication Agent, 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.
