There are two main ways to create support packages.
 

Creating the MINE support package from command line.

You will run the dbvrep executable and point it to the correct ddcfile while running the command as shown below.

$ dbvrep --ddcfile ORCL-MINE.ddc support package MINE
Initializing.....done
DDC loaded from database (124 variables).
Dbvisit Replicate version 
DDC file LINA.ddc loaded.
Packaging into ZIP file: dbvisit_support_dbvrep_MINE.7IPy.zip for process MINE, addinfo []
Trying retrieving +DATA/src/onlinelog/group_1.276.748600819 from ASM.
If this fails, restart with NOASM added to the SUPPORT command.
Packaging data from database. If this fails, restart SUPPORT PACKAGE with NODB option.
====> If instructed by support, run as SYSDBA the script get_logtrace.jTZ4.sql
and upload the generated tracefile (script will show the name) to Dbvisit Support as well.

...

The command can take further arguments, forcing it to skip some files – use it only if packaging otherwise fails.

Creating MINE support package from

...

dbvrep console

The support package command can also be run from the Command Console:

...

dbvrep> support package MINE --nodb

Creating the APPLY support package from command line.

You will run the dbvrep executable and point it to the correct ddcfile while running the command as shown below. 

$ dbvrep --ddcfile ORCL-APPLY.ddc support package APPLY

dbvrep> support package MINE --nodb

Creating the APPLY support package from command line

For APPLY, ensure the command console is run from the APPLY server so that the APPLY logs and PLOGs can be found:.  If you run the support package from the SOURCE server (where most people typically run dbvrep) it will NOT include the log file.  Please get the log file as well from the target server.
Or you can install the ./start_console.sh script on the target server, run the dbvrep console from there as show below.

dbvrep> support package APPLY
Packaging into ZIP file: ./dbvisit_support_dbvrep_d112f_apply.z9sJ.zip for process apply, addinfo []
Failed to open logfile /home/oracle/d112f/log/dbvrep_APPLY_d112f.log
Packaging data from database. If this fails, restart SUPPORT PACKAGE with NODB option.
====> If instructed by support, run as SYSDBA the script get_logtrace.jsKz.sql and upload the generated tracefile (script will show the name) to Dbvisit Support as well.

Or the command support package can be created with one command:

$ dbvrep --ddcfile ORCL-APPLY.ddc support package APPLY

...

Use the --nodb option for creating a support package if creating the support package fails to connect to either the Mine or Apply database

...

2-way replication

For 2-way replication 4 support packages can be created (MINE, APPLY, MINE1, APPLY1).
