Chapter 2: Setting Up Replication for Oracle

This chapter identifies the components that are required to implement a Sybase replication system for Oracle, as well as an overview of the tasks and instructions for installing and configuring a sample replication environment for Oracle.

NoteUse the procedures in this document only for proof-of-concept (POC) or testing, not for production. Only basic Oracle features are addressed in the following scenario. In particular, Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM), Real Application Clusters (RAC), and support for partitioning are not addressed here. However, Mirror Replication Agent does support these features. See the Mirror Replication Agent Primary Database Guide.

The instructions in this chapter illustrate installation on a UNIX or Linux system. Installation instructions for other platforms are in the Mirror Replication Agent Installation Guide.
