Prepare to install ECDA Option for Oracle

This section describes how to install ECDA to replicate into Oracle.

StepsTo prepare the environment for ECDA Option for Oracle software

  1. Prepare the environment for installation:

  2. 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.

    NoteTo verify that the Oracle version is certified to use with ECDA 15.0, see the certification reporthttp://certification.sybase.com/ucr/search.do.

  3. 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-15_0 directory structure during installation.
