Replication Agent supports gathering necessary connection property information by reading an Oracle tnsnames.ora file.If you use Oracle’s RAC or ASM, you must use the tnsnames.ora file that contains the desired connection details for the RAC or ASM instance that you want to connect to. If you are not using RAC or ASM, you can continue to use the existing configuration properties.
These new configuration parameters have been added to Replication Agent:
pds_tns_connection – identifies the connection name in the tnsnames.ora file to be used for the Oracle primary data server connection.
pds_tns_filename – identifies the file name, including the path, to the tnsnames.ora file to be used to obtain connection information.
asm_tns_connection – identifies the connection name in the tnsnames.ora file to be used for the Oracle ASM connection.
asm_tns_filename – identifies the file name, including the path, to the tnsnames.ora file to be used to obtain connection information for the Oracle ASM connection.
asm_username – identifies the user name to be used for the Oracle ASM connection.
asm_password – identifies the password for the user specified by asm_username.
For more information regarding the configuration parameters, see the Replication Agent Reference Manual.
