Install Dbvisit Replicate on the Source Machine

  1. Using the SSH terminal emulation program on your host machine (eg PuTTy on Windows or Terminal on Mac), log in to the oracle account (password is oracle)
  2. su to the root user to install the RPM (password is root)
  3. Install the RPM
su -
rpm -ivh /u01/app/oracle/software/dbvisit_replicate-2.8.00-1.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:dbvisit_replicate      ########################################### [100%]

Exit back to the oracle user account.

exit

Test that the dbvrep executable works by invoking it with the version parameter.

[oracle@source software]$ dbvrep version
Initializing......done

The first time dbvrep starts, it takes longer than usual because it extracts files to /tmp/par-oracle. Subsequent times dbvrep is started will be much faster.
