Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle Replication - is it "on" by default?
Simple snapshot replication (provided by materialized views or mviews) is
enabled when you use the Enterprise Edition of the database at any time as
long as
job_queue_processes is > 0, and, of course, you have defined some mviews.
This is one way replication.
If you want 2 way (advanced, multi-master) replication, then in 8i you will need to run catrep.sql after running catalog and catproc. In 9i, catrep is run as a part of catproc, so with 9i you will also have advanced replication installed by default.

Paul - The only book I've found specific to Oracle replication is: Oracle Distributed Systems by Charles Dye. It is pretty good. Replication isn't the easiest thing to learn.
The fundamental questions to ask are: is your application designed
to work with replication? Are you just trying to replicate for reporting
purposes?

Hi folks,
we've never identified any requirement here for using any kind of replication. Consequently I know nothing whatsoever about Oracle Replication. Now I've been asked whether or not we use Oracle Replication and, if so, whether it can be disabled. So can anyone tell me whether Replication is a feature automatically included in Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition? And is there an easy way of telling whether or not it's "on"? If it's "on", can it be turned "off" (if that's a meaningful question!), and if so, how?
I've tried briefly RTFMing, but although the manuals contain a wealth of info about how to use Replication, I can see nothing about how to tell whether it's active or not, and how to switch it on or off. Any pointers, please, anyone?
