Create a Replication Server 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 about
create connection.
Note: The
connect_string configuration parameter is same as
<tnsnames_alias> in the
tnsnames.ora file obtained from the ECDA for Oracle
installation. See
Configuring
ExpressConnect for Oracle.
