Page Comparison

Active - Active or 2-way replication is very similar to 1-way replication. This is used when changes can be made to both databases and they both must be kept in sync. 

...

At step 2 in the setup wizard, the replication pairs are configured. 

Step 2 - Replication pairs

========================================

The second step is to set source and targets for each replication pair. This is usually just choosing the first database as

source and the second one as target, but many more configurations are possible.

Let's configure the replication pair, selecting source and target.

Following databases are described:

1: reptest1 (Oracle) 

2: reptest2 (Oracle) 

Select source database: [1] 

Select target database: [2] 

(NETWORK_QUALITY) - Please specify your network type (LAN or WAN).

 
Autoconfigures timeouts, use of compression etc. [LAN] 

Lock and copy the data initially one-by-one or at a single SCN?

 
(one-by-one/single-scn/ddl-only/resetlogs) [single-scn] 

What data copy script to create? (dp_networklink/dp_exp/exp/ddl_file/ddl_run/none) [dp_networklink]

Following replication pairs are now configured:

1: reptest1 (Oracle) ==> reptest2 (Oracle), DDL: no, fetcher: no,process suffix: (no suffix),

 
network: LAN, prepare type:single-scn, data load: dp_networklink

Enter number of replication pair to modify it, or "add", or "done": [done]

Add another replication pair, by typing "add" instead of "done". Choose the reverse source and target database:

Enter number of replication pair to modify it, or "add", or "done": [done] add 

Let's configure the replication pair, selecting source and target.

Following databases are described:

1: reptest1 (Oracle) 

2: reptest2 (Oracle) 

Select source database: [1] 2 

Select target database: [2] 1 

(NETWORK_QUALITY) - Please specify your network type (LAN or WAN). Autoconfigures timeouts, use of compression etc. [LAN] 

Lock and copy the data initially one-by-one or at a single SCN? (one-by-one/single-scn/ddl-only/resetlogs) [single-scn] 

What data copy script to create? (dp_networklink/dp_exp/exp/ddl_file/ddl_run/none) [dp_networklink]

Following replication pairs are now configured:

1: reptest1 (Oracle) ==> reptest2 (Oracle), DDL: no, fetcher: no, process suffix: (no suffix), network: LAN, prepare type:

single-scn, data load: dp_networklink

2: reptest2 (Oracle) ==> reptest1 (Oracle), DDL: no, fetcher: no, process suffix: 1, network: LAN, prepare type: single-scn, data

load: dp_networklink

Enter number of replication pair to modify it, or "add", or "done": [done]

Two replication pairs are now configured. 

...

For each replication pair, the objects to be replicated have to specified. This can be the same or different for each replication pair. 

Step 3 - Replicated tables

========================================

The third step is to choose the schemas and tables to be replicated. If the databases are reachable, the tables are checked for

existence, datatype support, etc., schemas are queried for tables. Note that all messages are merely hints/warnings and may be

ignored if issues are rectified before the scripts are actually executed.

Note the following assumptions are made in this wizard 

- which can be modified by editing the resulting script:

1. All replicated tables have a primary key defined.

2. All columns of the tables and all tables of the specified schemas are replicated, and if DDL support is enabled, whenever a

new column/table is added, this should be replicate as well.

3. If an apply conflict arises, the default option is to try again repeatedly, until a different option is given or the

underlying issue is resolved. 

4. If an apply conflict arises, no more data will be replicated until the issue is resolved or ignored.

You can also specify some advanced options:

1. Rename schemas or tables.

2. Specify filtering conditions.

3. (Tables only) Configure Change Data Capture; this does not maintain a copy of the source table, but logs all operations as

separate entries. This is useful for ETL or as an audit trail. This usually requires adding of new columns (timestamps, old/new

values etc.) to the target table. Dbvisit Replicate can create the target table with the additional columns during setup by

selecting "ddl_run" in the data copy section of Step 2.

Following tables are defined for replication pairs:

1: reptest1 (Oracle) ==> reptest2 (Oracle), DDL: no, suffix: (no suffix), prepare: single-scn

 No tables defined.

2: reptest2 (Oracle) ==> reptest1 (Oracle), DDL: no, suffix: 1, prepare: single-scn

 No tables defined.

Enter number of replication pair to modify it, or "done": [1]

Please enter list of all individual tables to be replicated. Enter schema name(s) only to replicate all tables in that schema.

Use comma or space to delimit the entries.

Enter the tables and schemas: [] test1,avi.emp 

Selected schemas: TEST1

Selected tables: AVI.EMP

Add more tables or schemas? (YES/NO) [NO]

will cause additional privileges to be granted to dbvrep. Enter through a comma or space-delimited list.

2: reptest2 (Oracle) ==> reptest1 (Oracle), DDL: no, suffix: 1, prepare: single-scn

 TEST1(tables), AVI.EMP

Enter number of replication pair to modify it, or "done": [done]

Step 4 - Process configuration

...

All the defaults can be chosen. 

Step 4 - Process configuration

========================================

The fourth step is to configure the replication processes for each replication. Although most options have reasonable defaults,

manual input is required.

1: MINE on reptest1

 Not configured.

2: APPLY on reptest2

 Not configured.

3: MINE1 on reptest2

These steps are required after the reptest1-all.sh script runs:

1) Create the necessary directory(ies) on the servers:

dbvldemo102: /home/oracle/reptest1

2) Copy the DDC files to the server(s) where the processes will run:

dbvldemo102: /home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-APPLY.ddc

dbvldemo101: /home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-APPLY1.ddc

dbvldemo101: /home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-MINE.ddc

dbvldemo102: /home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-MINE1.ddc

3) Review that path to dbvrep executable is correct in the run scripts:

/home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-run-dbvldemo101.sh

/home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-run-dbvldemo102.sh

4) Copy the run script to the server(s) where the processes will run:

/home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-run-dbvldemo101.sh

/home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-run-dbvldemo102.sh

5) Ensure firewall is open for listen interfaces 0.0.0.0:7902, 0.0.0.0:7904, 0.0.0.0:7901, 0.0.0.0:7903 used by the processes.

6) Make sure the data on apply are in sync as of time when setup was run.

Scripts for Data Pump/export/DDL were created as requested:

/home/oracle/reptest1/APPLY.sh

/home/oracle/reptest1/APPLY1.sh

Create referenced database links (if any) before running the scripts.

7) Start the replication processes on all servers:

/home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-run-dbvldemo101.sh

/home/oracle/reptest1/reptest1-run-dbvldemo102.sh

8) Start the console to monitor the progress:

/home/oracle/reptest1/start-console.sh

The above list is stored in /home/oracle/reptest1/Nextsteps.txt.

Each run script ( reptest1-run-dbvldemo101.sh and reptest1-run-dbvldemo102.sh) has commands to start both a Mine and Apply on each server.

...

The console will display both replication pairs simultaneously.

MINE IS running. Currently at plog 481 and SCN 7855698 (07/24/2013 14:39:46).

APPLY IS running. Currently at plog 481 and SCN 7855694 (07/24/2013 14:39:45).

3 tables listed. 

With 2-way replication the table listing in the console can so long that the prompt cannot be seen. By default, 30 tables are listed for each replication, thus for a 2-way replication, it takes up to 70 screen lines.
To change this, edit the *-MINE.ddc file and add line "set STATUS_BAR_ACTIVE_TABLES 5". Or enter this command at the console prompt. Restart the console for this change to take affect.
