replication problems

Here's my situation:

• I am setting up my environment to use multi-master replication
• I have one master definition site and another master site
  1. I created a replicated object group and my replicated object was a table.
  2. After adding the new master site I ended up with a couple of messages in the dba_repcatlog indicating a status of await_callback for two requests, create_master_repobject and add_master_database. These did not go to completion even though there was an entry in dba_jobs for running do_deferred_repcat_admin.
  3. I figured out (I think) that the problem was with the database links and the database names. Therefore I ran drop_master_repobject and drop_master_repgroup from the master definition site. This ran sucessfully on the master definition site but the group still exists on the other master site, with a status of "Quiesced". I also purged the logs from dba_repcatlog but this did not help.

Problem 1: How do I get rid of this replication group on the other master site ?

I have tried using drop_master_repgroup but I get an ORA 23313 - group is not mastered at <db_name>. This group does not appear at the master definition site anymore since I ran the drop from that site.

4. When I got the database links and database names correct, I was successful in setting up the environment but had a problem when trying any dml statements on the other master site.

Problem 2: I get the message ORA 23326 - System is being quiesced, when trying to perform any dml statement. I have run resume_master_activity at the master definition site and I have queryed the dba_repgroup on both sites to find the status of the group is Normal. I think this may have something to do with the fact that on the other master site there are other groups that have a status of quiesced but I'm not sure. Any ideas ?

Thanks, in advance.
