Replication Agent for Oracle

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.

Note: A separate Replication Agent instance is required for each Oracle database 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.

Note: Replication Agent is a Java program. Some operating systems may require patches to support Java. See the Replication Agent Administration Guide and the Replication Agent Release Bulletin for more information.

Replication Definitions for Primary Tables in Oracle
By sending data for only the columns specified in the replication definition, network traffic is reduced, which may improve performance.
Replication Manager Limitations
The Replication Manager plug-in cannot start, but can stop a Replication Agent instance in an Oracle primary data server.
