About ExpressConnect for Oracle

ExpressConnect for Oracle (ECO) is an embedded library loaded by Replication Server® for Oracle replication.

ECO provides direct communication between Replication Server and a replicate Oracle data server, making Oracle data easily accessible in a heterogeneous replication environment. It also eliminates the need for installing and setting up a separate gateway server, thereby improving performance and reducing the complexities of managing a replication system.
