Implement a Reference Replication Environment

You can quickly set up an Adaptive Server-to-Adaptive Server or Oracle-to-Oracle reference replication environment using the products available in your environment.

• Reference Replication Environment Implementation
  Replication Server includes a toolset for quickly setting up a reference implementation of Adaptive Server-to-Adaptive Server or Oracle-to-Oracle replication using the products available in your environment.
• Prerequisites for the Reference Environment
  There are several prerequisites and some information you must be aware of before you build the reference environment.
• Build the Reference Environment
  Execute the buildenv script to automatically create a Replication Server, and the primary and replicate data servers and databases.
• Configure the Reference Environment
  After you build the reference replication environment, execute the refimp script with the config parameter and a configuration file to create tables and stored procedures on the reference primary and replicate databases, and create a database replication definition and a subscription on the reference Replication Server.
• Run Performance Tests on the Reference Environment
  Execute the refimp script with the run parameter to automatically insert, update, and delete data on the primary data server using database level replication.
• Obtain Tests Results from the Reference Environment
  Execute the refimp script with the analyze parameter to collect statistics and performance information.
• Shut Down the Reference Implementation Servers
  Execute the cleanenv script to shut down Replication Server and the data servers after you have cleaned up the environment.
• Clean Up the Reference Environment
  Execute the refimp script with the cleanup parameter to delete test data, and drop replication definitions, subscriptions, tables, and stored procedures to prepare for the next test.
• Objects Created for the Reference Environment
  The reference implementation toolset creates stored procedure, replication definition, subscription, and table objects in the reference replication environment.
