There are a few prerequisites for the Oracle to SQL Server replication to take place.
On the target database ensure that snapshot isolation and read committed snapshot are ON:
ALTER DATABASE TEST SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON ALTER DATABASE TEST SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON
Once the tables have been created on target database:
- Ensure that you create index on target database that has disabled page locking "ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = OFF"
- On the target database ensure that table has an index created on all columns that will be used in where clauses in the update/delete sql statements on source database. (This will prevent certain situation when MS SQL server tends to create table lock and possible blocking locks).
In the replication console:
- In the dbvisit replication console set the parameter APPLY_POSTPONE_LAST_LCR to YES (and restart)
dbvrep> SET APPLY_POSTPONE_LAST_LCR=YES
