This section initialises and starts the replication processes

1. Go in to the home directory of the replication that has been setup by the setup wizard

...

No Format
cd ~oracle/dbvrep_orcl

...

2. The configuration scripts can be inspected if needed. They are in the ./config directory.

...

SQL scripts. These scripts will run SQL statements in the source or target databases.
CFG scripts. These are used in the setup wizard to remember user inputs. The setup wizard can be run again and the previous input will be displayed based on information in the .cfg files.
DDC scripts. These scripts contain all the configurational settings for the replication.
DBVREP script. This script runs Dbvisit Replicate commands and initialises the replication.

3. The dbvrep_orcl-all.sh is the main script that calls all the other script to initialise the replication. Start this script

...

No Format
./dbvrep_orcl-all.sh

...

4. The replication is now being initialised. This takes approximately 3-5 minutes.

Note

WARN-1258: Insufficient privileges to do a redolog switch. Please issue it manually.

This warning is expected. In Oracle 12c when you connect to a CDB, you don't have privileges for a system-wide log switch. The warning will not stop replication. Replication may take a bit longer to initialize as the MINE process will have to read through the current log. Or you could run the command manually.

At the end of the output, the Next Steps to be completed will be shown. These will be carried out in the following instructions

No Format

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


1) Create the necessary directory(ies) on the servers:
target: /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl


2) Copy the DDC files to the server(s) where the processes will run:
target: /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-APPLY.ddc
source: /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-MINE.ddc


3) Review that path to dbvrep executable is correct in the run scripts:
/homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-run-source.sh
/homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-run-target.sh


4) Copy the run script to the server(s) where the processes will run:
source: /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-run-source.sh
target: /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-run-target.sh


5) Ensure firewall is open for listen interfaces 0.0.0.0:7902, 0.0.0.0:7901 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:
/homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/APPLY.sh
Create referenced database links (if any) before running the scripts.


7) Start the replication processes on all servers:
source: /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-run-source.sh
target: /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-run-target.sh


8) Start the console to monitor the progress:
/homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/start-console.sh
The above list is stored in /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/Nextsteps.txt.

5. On the target server (dbv02) create the the /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl directory

...

No Format
[oracle@target ~]$ mkdir /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl [oracle@target ~]$

...

6. On the source server (dbv01), copy the DDC file to the target server using scp. The Dbvisit Database Configuration file contains all the configurational settings for the replication.

No Format

[oracle@source dbvrep_orcl]$ scp /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-APPLY.ddc oracle@target-int:/homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/
The authenticity of host 'target-int (10.10.12.115)' can't be established.

...

No Format
oracle@target-int's password: dbvrep_orcl-APPLY.ddc

7. On the source server (dbv01), copy the dbvrep_orcl-run-target.sh file to the target server using scp.

No Format
[oracle@source dbvrep_orcl]$ scp /homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/dbvrep_orcl-run-target.sh oracle@target-int:/homeu01/oracle/dbvrep_orcl/

The scp password is oracle

No Format
oracle@target-int's password: dbvrep_orcl-run-target.sh

Note
The word "target" in dbvrep_orcl-run-target.sh is dependent on your target hostname. In this case, the target hostname is called target
