Oracle Database Advanced Replication is intended for database administrators and application developers who develop and maintain replication environments. These administrators and application developers perform one or more of the following tasks:

• Plan for a replication environment

• Configure the following types of replication environments:

  • Read-only materialized view

  • Updatable materialized view

  • Single master replication

  • Multimaster replication

• Use deployment templates to create a materialized view environment

• Configure conflict resolution

• Administer a replication environment

• Perform troubleshooting activities when necessary

• Manage job queues

• Manage deferred transactions

• Use the Advanced Replication interface in Oracle Enterprise Manager to create, monitor, and manage replication environments

To use this document, you need to be familiar with relational database concepts, distributed database administration, PL/SQL (if using procedural replication), and the operating system under which you run an Advanced Replication environment.
