Before you can start a Mirror Replication Agent instance and connect to the primary data server, you must set all required variables.
For more information about connectivity requirements specific to your primary database, see Appendix C, “Mirror Replication Agent and Oracle Databases.”
Add the location of the JDBC driver for the primary database to the CLASSPATH environment variable.
See Appendix C, “Mirror Replication Agent and Oracle Databases,” for more information about installing and setting up the JDBC driver for the primary database and setting up Mirror Replication Agent connectivity.
If the character set on your Mirror Replication Agent is different than the one on your primary database, you need to set the RA_JAVA_DFLT_CHARSET environment variable. The Mirror Replication Agent character set must be the same as that of the primary database. For more information, see “Setting character sets”.
