Replication Agent for Oracle extends the capabilities of Replication Server by allowing Oracle database servers to be data sources in a Sybase® replication system.
Replication Agent for Oracle captures transactions in the primary database and transfers them to Replication Server for distribution to replicate databases.
Standalone Application
Replication Agent for Oracle runs as a server application. Replication Agent for Oracle can reside on the same host machine as any other component of the replication system, or it can reside on a machine that is separate from other replication system components. Replication Agent must reside on the same type of hardware and operating system as the primary database.
Replication Agent for Oracle Monitoring
Replication Agent for Oracle instances can be monitored by Sybase Control Center for Replication. In addition, you can use any Open Client™ application (such as isql) that is capable of communicating with the Sybase Tabular Data Stream™ (TDS) protocol to configure, manage, and monitor a Replication Agent for Oracle instance.
