Create Replication Site

This chapter illustrates how to set up both a master site and a materialized view replication site using the replication management API.

This chapter contains these topics:

Overview of Setting Up Replication Sites

Before you build your replication environment, you need to set up the sites that will participate in the replication environment. As illustrated in Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3, there are separate processes for setting up a master site versus setting up a materialized view site.

The examples in this chapter use the following databases:

Chapters 2 - 6 work with the replication environment illustrated in Figure 2-1. You start to create this environment using the instructions in this chapter. Notice that mv2.world is a materialized view based on the mv1.world materialized view, creating a multitier materialized view environment. The arrows in Figure 2-1 represent database links.

Follow the procedures identified in Figure 2-2 when you build a new master site or in Figure 2-3 when you build a new materialized view site.

Setting Up Master Sites

The following sections contain step-by-step instructions for setting up the three master sites in our sample replication environment: orc1.world, orc2.world, and orc3.world. Before you set up the master sites, configure your network and Oracle Net so that all three databases can communicate with each other.

/************************* BEGINNING OF SCRIPT ******************************

Setting Up orc1.world

Complete the following steps to set up the orc1.world master site.

Step 1 Connect as SYSTEM at a master site at orc1.world.

Connect as SYSTEM to the database that you want to set up for replication. After you set up orc1.world, begin again with Step 1 for site orc2.world and Step 1 for site orc3.world.

Step 3 Grant privileges to the replication administrator at orc1.world.

Execute the GRANT_ADMIN_ANY_SCHEMA procedure to grant the replication administrator powerful privileges to create and manage a replicated environment.

Creating Scheduled Links Between the Master Sites

Complete the following steps to create scheduled links between the master sites.

Step 1 Create database links between master sites.

The database links provide the necessary distributed mechanisms to allow the different replication sites to replicate data among themselves. Before you create any private database links, you must create the public database links that each private database link will use. You then must create a database link between all replication administrators at each of the master sites that you have set up.

Step 2 Define a schedule for each database link to create scheduled links.

Create a scheduled link by defining a database link when you execute the SCHEDULE_PUSH procedure. The scheduled link determines how often your deferred transaction queue is propagated to each of the other master sites. You need to execute the SCHEDULE_PUSH procedure for each database link that you created in Step 1. The database link is specified in the destination parameter of the SCHEDULE_PUSH procedure.

Even when using Oracle's asynchronous replication mechanisms, you can configure a scheduled link to simulate continuous, real-time replication. The scheduled links in this example simulate continuous replication.

Step 4 Schedule purge at level 2 materialized view site at mv2.world.

In order to keep the size of the deferred transaction queue in check, you should purge successfully completed deferred transactions. The SCHEDULE_PURGE procedure automates the purge process for you. If your level 2 materialized view site only contains "read-only" materialized views, then you do not need to execute this procedure.

Step 5 Schedule push at the mv2.world materialized view site (optional).

If the materialized view site has a constant connection to its master materialized view site, then you optionally can schedule push at the mv2.world materialized view site. If the materialized view site is disconnected from its master materialized view site for extended periods of time, then it is typically better not to schedule push and refresh on demand, which pushes changes to the master materialized view site.

The SCHEDULE_PUSH procedure schedules when the deferred transaction queue should be propagated to the target master materialized view site.
