Before you begin setting up the replication system, be familiar with Oracle data servers and have an understanding of Sybase replication. In addition:
You must have a valid license for Replication Server and Replication Server Options.
Oracle Database 10g or 11g Enterprise Edition must be installed and configured to serve as the source (primary) database and as the target (replicate) database from which Replication Agent replicates transactions.
Oracle JDBC thin driver for Oracle 10g for JDK 1.4 and 1.5, or for Oracle 11g for JDK 1.5 must be installed.
TCP/IP connectivity must be available.
Any OS patches required for Java 6.0 have been installed.
The Replication Agent must have direct access to the Oracle online and archived redo logs.
During this procedure, Sybase recommends that you do not use Replication Server reserved words for object names and connection names. A complete list of reserved words is in the Replication Server Reference Manual.
