Introduction to Mirror Replication Agent

Mirror Replication Agent is the Mirror Activator system component that reads primary database transactions from mirror log devices, and sends those transactions to Replication Server for distribution to the standby database.

Mirror Replication Agent is a Java application that runs as a standalone process, independent of any other Mirror Activator system component. It requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on its host platform.

Mirror Replication Agent can reside on the same host as the Replication Server or the standby data server, or it can reside on a machine separate from any other Mirror Activator system component. The Mirror Replication Agent host must have local access to the mirror log devices.
