Purpose

Advanced replication environments that support an update-anywhere data model
can be challenging to configure and manage. To help administer advanced
replication environments, Oracle provides Replication Manager.

It is essential that every detail is correct before using replication
manager, customers frequently miss out one of the initial steps and this
causes the replication environment to behave inconsistently. This article is
intended to guide customers through the initial configuration steps that
must be performed before using Replication Manager to setup an updateable
snapshot replication system. It does not cover how to build replication or
snapshot groups and objects, Oracle Support Services recommends customers
use Replication Manager for this.

Scope

This article is also aimed at customers who wish to use the replication
management API because they require the additional flexibility it provides
or they wish to use the trusted / untrusted security models.

Please note the terms snapshot and materialized view are synonymous in Oracle
