Prerequisites

Before you begin setting up replication for Oracle data servers, review the prerequisites.

Make sure:

  • You are familiar with Oracle data servers and have an understanding of Sybase replication.

  • You have a valid license for Replication Server and Replication Server Options.

  • Oracle Database 10g or 11g Enterprise Edition is installed and configured to serve as the source (primary) database from which Replication Agent replicates transactions and as the target (replicate) database to which Replication Server with ECO replicates transactions.

  • If Oracle 10g or 11g Release 1 is the primary database, install the Oracle JDBC™ thin driver for Oracle 10g or 11g and for JDK 1.4 and 1.5. If the primary database is Oracle 11g Release 2, install the Oracle JDBC thin driver 11.2 for JDK 1.6.

  • TCP/IP connectivity is available.

  • Any OS patches required for Java 6.0 has been installed.

  • The Replication Agent has direct access to the Oracle online and archived redo logs.

Do not use Replication Server reserved words for object names and connection names. A complete list of reserved words is in the Replication Server Reference Manual.
