Re: Replication

Thanks to all who replied.

The idea comes from the application manager. Because there is a new server for his application, we have to move the DB from the old server to the new one. Our original plan was by using RMAN's duplicate method which I've done for couple times and feel confident. By using this method, it will take about 4 hours downtime which the manager does not accept. He says by using the replicating, one hour downtime will be enough (who knows how he comes up this number?) And after the DB is cut over,
he is going to use the DB on the old server as reporting.
