Create a connection to Oracle using ExpressConnect for Oracle (ECO).
ECO requires only the tnsnames.ora file to establish
location transparency, unlike ECDA for Oracle, which also requires an interfaces file to set up connections between Oracle and Replication Server.
- Copy the tnsnames.ora file used by ECDA for Oracle to the
RS_installation_directory\REP-15_5\connector\oraoci\network\admin
directory.
- Use the value previously given to the connect_string configuration
parameter of ECDA for Oracle as the data_server in the Replication Server
create connection command.
See the Replication Server Reference Manual for information on the create
connection command.
