As a primary data server, Oracle interacts with Replication Agent. The Replication Agent identifies and transfers information about data-changing operations or transactions from an Oracle primary data server to a primary Replication Server.
A separate Replication Agent instance is required for
each Oracle instance from which transactions are replicated.
The Replication Agent interacts with the primary Replication Server and with the RSSD of the primary Replication Server, if so configured.
Replication Agent is a Java program. Some operating
systems may require patches to support Java. Refer to the Replication
Agent Administration Guide and the Replication
Agent Release Bulletin for more information.
