What is Data instantiation

Before data replication can start, the target database must have a copy of the database objects that are going to be replicated. It is also necessary that the data for the objects to be replicated are completely in sync at the point at which the replication starts. Replication can only keep data in sync from a certain point in time, all the data before that point in time must be replicated manually as a one off task.

...

  1. Everything before the SCN must be copied manually. This is the Data Instantiation and is done in this example through Oracle DataPump, but other methods are also available such as using a standby database.
  2. Everything after the SCN is replicated by the logical replication tool (in this case Dbvisit Replicate, but can also be Golden Gate)

...

1. On the target server (dbv02), ensure Ensure that the OE REPOE schema is clean. Run the following drop script to ensure that there are no OE objects. If . Do this by executing the record_count.bash script in the $HOME/replicate directory of the source machine. This will show you the record counts for the source and target tables but it will also show you if the target tables have not been created. (which is what you want). If there are then the DataPump script will fail.

The output should indicate there are no tables in the REPOE schema in the target database. 

The APPLY.sh script created by the Setup Wizard for instantiating the target schema using DataPump export/import over a database link. This database link must be created for the script to work. 

2. On the target server, setup the database link as user systemthe user SYSTEM pointing to the source database.

The flashback_scn number (in this case3046186example 564273) determines  determines the consistency point as to where the data will be loaded to. All data prior to this SCN will be loaded using the above DataPump script. All data past this SCN will be replicated using Dbvisit Replicate.

3. On the source server (dbv01) start , as oracle, in the $HOME/dbvrep_XE directory, execute the APPLY.sh script. This script will take approximately 25 3 - 9 minutes to complete depending on your host machine.

Because there was no transaction activity in the source database, the source and target database record counts should be the same.

The source and target databases are now in sync and we can start the replication processes.
