Replication Agent supports replication of the Oracle XMLType datatype, stored as character large object (CLOB), from Oracle to Oracle and Oracle to ASE. The XMLType datatype is a specialized datatype used to both store and process XML documents in an Oracle database. Setting up your table or columns to store XMLType datatype as CLOBs enables you to store XML documents without schema, in the database. You may want to use this feature when you are interested in storing and retrieving the whole document, or when you do not require replication to perform piece-wise updates on XML documents.
You can use this feature with Replication Server 15.5
only. When replicating to Oracle, use ExpressConnect for Oracle.
Replication Agent 15.5 does not support:
Oracle 10g XML Types not stored as CLOB.
All Oracle 11g XML Types.
Replication of data stored in Oracle XML DB repository using standard protocols such as FTP and HTTP(S) or WebDAV, and other Oracle XML DB API.
See Chapter 1, “Replication Agent for Oracle,” in the Replication Agent 15.5 Primary Database Guide.
