Initializing a Replication Agent Instance to Use Oracle XStream APIs

Initialize an instance of Replication Agent, and create the objects it needs in the primary database.

Prerequisites

The Replication Agent instance must be running, and connectivity to the primary database must be established.

Task
  1. Log in to the Replication Agent instance with the administrator login.

  2. Run ra_admin init, where init is the keyword for creating Replication Agent system objects in the primary database.

    If the XStream administrator privilege is granted to the pds_username, an XStream outbound server is created during initialization.

    If the initialization is successful, the script is stored in a file named partinit.sql in the scripts/xlog/installed directory.

    If the initialization does not succeed, see Replication Agent Administration Guide for troubleshooting information.
