Replication Agent for Oracle 15.5 must be installed on the same host on which the primary Oracle server is running to directly access the Oracle transaction log files.
Using any of the upgrade procedures described in this section, the new Replication Agent for Oracle 15.5 instances will have the same configuration as previously existing instances, including instance names, administrative user IDs and passwords, and administrative port numbers.
For upgrades within a common release level, as in the
case of an ESD applied to a particular version of Replication Agent,
you should use the ra_admin -u option
applied to a particular instance of Replication Agent or to all
instances of Replication Agent. See the Replication Agent
Administration Guide.
