Replication Agent for Oracle supports the use of multiple Replication Agent instances with Replication Server Multi-Path Replication™ to replicate data in parallel from one Oracle primary database across two or more independent replication paths. By replicating data in parallel, multiple Replication Agents can increase replication throughput and performance and reduce resource contention.
