Robin Your management sounds like some people I dealt with that assumed they would just "flip the replication switch". How much of the 30-gig. do they plan to replicate? What replication interval? What tools do they plan to use? What is the replication direction - master-slave, peer-peer? How many sites? Ask for a copy of their replication policies. How will replication problems be detected? How will they be rectified? For reading, I would recommend what are the only 2 books I could locate (does that give you a hint about the popularity of replication?) Data Replication, Marie Buretta (lots of information about why policies are vital and how to write them). Oracle Distributed Systems, Charles Dye. The key to replication success (I can only speak from book knowledge) is in the people and the policies that coordinate their efforts and ensure nothing is overlooked, not in the technology.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 8:58 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all, Does anyone have the appropriate time on implementing replication for a newbe? I am given a time frame on doing the replication for 10 days which is including testing on test server and move to production. I've never done that before, now just start reading. This DB is about 30G on Oracle 8.1.7.
