Reload User Information

In versions earlier than 15.6, the only way to synchronize users in the primary database and users in the Replication Agent System Database (RASD) was to use pdb_xlog init, force. However, this command also refreshes the table schema and therefore requires extra time.

In Replication Agent 15.6, you can use the ra_updateusers command to reload all the user information from the primary database to the RASD. The ra_updateusers command refreshes only user information.

Note:

This command is available only for Oracle.

Syntax

ra_updateusers

Usage

  • ra_updateusers reloads user information to the RASD from the primary database. Use this command when user information in the RASD becomes unsynchronized with the primary database.

  • When you invoke ra_updateusers, Replication Agent:
    1. Deletes all user information from the RASD
    2. Queries the primary database for user information
    3. Repopulates the RASD with the user information returned from the primary database
  • Use ra_updateusers only when Replication Agent is in the Admin or Replication Down state.
