RE: Remote execution of pl/sql

Jeff,

Thanks, this looks really close. One refinement though, I need to pass the target link name as a parameter. The name is already being passed, I just need the link syntax to interprit the variable before trying to use it. Any advice?

create or replace procedure setup_replication_group_load (groupname IN VARCHAR2, nsite IN VARCHAR2) IS
...

    dbms_offline_og.begin_load_at_nsite(gname => groupname, new_site => nsite); ...
END;

Create a dblink to instance B from A and then within your proc on A do

....
proc_on_b_at_B_INSTANCE(parameter1....parameter_n);

The schema that you use for the link to B must have execute access to the procedure on B
