Before installing Dbvisit Replicate please ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Task | Comment | Completed? | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Oracle software is installed on source and target servers. | The Oracle software version can be different between the source and target servers. | |
2 | Oracle source database is up and running. | We require database to be in ARCHIVELOG mode. To determine if database is in archivelog mode run SQL command: SQL> archive log list | |
3 | Oracle target database is up and running. | We require database to be in ARCHIVELOG mode. To determine if database is in archivelog mode run SQL command: SQL> archive log list | |
4 | Ensure there is enough disk space and available memory for Dbvisit Replicate to run | See System Requirements | |
5 | Ensure Oracle listener is running on the source server | ||
6 | Ensure Oracle listener is running on the target server (only if target database is Oracle). | ||
7 | Ensure Oracle SQL*Net connection to target database from source database (only if target database is Oracle). | Use tnsping to test if the SQL*Net connection can be made from source server to target database. | |
8 | Ensure Oracle SQL*Net connection to source database from target database (only if target database is Oracle). | Use tnsping to test if the SQL*Net connection can be made from target server to source database. | |
9 | Ensure that the firewall port is opened between the primary and the standby servers for the Dbvisit Replicate ports. | Dbvisit Replicate uses the following default ports for communication between the source and target servers: | |
10 | Ensure source server name can be resolved to correct IP address (not 127.0.0.1). | On source server run: ping source_hostname | |
11 | Ensure target server name can be resolved to correct IP address (not 127.0.0.1). | On target server run: ping target_hostname | |
12 | Ensure all data types that need to be replicated are supported by Dbvisit Replicate. | Run the SQL query in Supported and Unsupported Datatypes to determine if there are any unsupported datatypes | |
13 | For RAC, ensure all redo threads are on shared storage and accessible by all nodes. |
