Final wrap-up
All the information about the replication process has been obtained and now the replication environment can be created.
The Dbvisit Replicate wizard has completed and has created the necessary replication environment.
Exit out of dbvrep and run the *-all.sh or *all.bat script created by the wizard. If you chose the 'no lock' option for data instantiation during the Step 2 of the Setup Wizard there will be an additional script called *pre-all.sh. In the above example the script is called orcl-pre-all.sh. This script will turn on supplemental logging on the database as well as turn on table level supplemental logging. The *-pre-all.sh script should be run at a time when the database is not as active as supplemental logging will require a lock on those tables.
In the above example the script is called orcl-all.sh. This script can be run at any time to reset or recreate the replication environment. The Nextsteps.txt explains the next steps to initiate the replication.
This completes the Dbvisit Replicate setup and configuration.
Before running the script, review the created scripts as indicated by the Nextsteps.txt (shown at the end of all.* script). For example:
- Review the location of dbvrep(.exe) if it differs among the nodes if RAC is used.
- Check TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME paths and make sure they are correct on all the different servers involved.
After testing, consider adding the starting of dbvrep processes to init scripts on Linux/Unix to automatically start them on server reboot. (This is not needed on Windows, as processes are registered as services by default).
Outcome of running the scripts created by the setup wizard.
Running the *-all.sh script will configure and initiate the replication. It does the following:
- Create the Dbvisit Replicate schemas in the source and target databases (default username dbvrep)
- Grant the necessary privileges to the Dbvisit Replicate schema.
- Create the Dbvisit Replicate repository in the source and target databases.
- Load the Dbvisit Replicate configuration file (DDC) into the Dbvisit Replicate repository. The DDC file is like the init.ora for Oracle and contains the settings for the replication.
- Prepare the schemas or objects for replication.

These steps are required after the sample-all.sh script runs: 1) Create the necessary directory(ies) on the servers: dbvlin72.dbvisit: /home/oracle/sample 2) Copy the DDC files to the server(s) where the processes will run: dbvlin72.dbvisit: /home/oracle/sample/sample-APPLY.ddc dbvlin71.dbvisit: /home/oracle/sample/sample-MINE.ddc 3) Review that path to dbvrep executable is correct in the run scripts: /home/oracle/sample/sample-run-dbvlin71.dbvisit.sh /home/oracle/sample/sample-run-dbvlin72.dbvisit.sh 4) Copy the run script to the server(s) where the processes will run: dbvlin71.dbvisit: /home/oracle/sample/sample-run-dbvlin71.dbvisit.sh dbvlin72.dbvisit: /home/oracle/sample/sample-run-dbvlin72.dbvisit.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. 7) Start the replication processes on all servers: dbvlin71.dbvisit: /home/oracle/sample/sample-run-dbvlin71.dbvisit.sh dbvlin72.dbvisit: /home/oracle/sample/sample-run-dbvlin72.dbvisit.sh 8) Start the console to monitor the progress: /home/oracle/sample/start-console.sh The above list is stored in /home/oracle/sample/Nextsteps.txt. oracle@dbvlin71[sample]:
- If you are on 12c and during the running of the *all.sh script you get the message:
WARN-1258: Insufficient privileges to do a redolog switch. Please issue it manually: Alter system switch logfile;
That is normally as you don't have privileges for a system wide redo log switch.
By following the steps listed in Next Steps you will end up with the MINE process running on the source server and the APPLY process running on the target server. You can see the status of replication by running the console
