This section describes how to install ECDA to replicate into Oracle.
To prepare to install ECDA for Oracle software
Prepare the environment for installation:
Review the ECDA Installation Guide, Chapter 6, for hardware, software, and operating system software requirements.
Review sections 4 and 5 in the ECDA release bulletin for any recent updates to requirements for installation.
Identify an Oracle standby database. To do so, obtain the Oracle SID, which is usually the value $ORACLE_SID and record the Oracle database name.
Verify the complete path name to the tnsnames.ora file, for example:
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
The tnsnames.ora file must be accessible to the machine where installation is taking place, because ECDA makes another copy of the tnsnames.ora file and places it under the $SYBASE/DCO-12_6 directory structure during the installation process.
To verify that the Oracle version is certified for use
with ECDA 12.6, see the certification report
