Dbvisit Replicate Oracle Data Replication Overview

Dbvisit Replicate architecture

The Dbvisit Replicate architecture is very simple and efficient and consists of the following processes:

  • MINE process which converts Oracle redo logs into parsed logs called PLOGS
  • APPLY process which converts the PLOG data into native SQL statements
  • FETCHER (optional) which can offload the MINE process to an intermediary server
  • PLOG which is a platform independent binary file specific to Dbvisit Replicate and is streamed real-time between the MINE and APPLY process

Dbvisit Replicate architecture

 

 
  • Full 1-way (master to slave) and 2-way replication (master to master)
  • 3-tier architecture which includes the offloading of the mine process to another server (using the Fetcher process)
  • Automatic setup of network transportation parameters depending on WAN or LAN network
  • Network encryption and security
  • Full ASM support
  • CDC/Audit to capture changes in source system to enable real time loading of data warehousing or BI. This loads a Dbvisit Replicate created staging table with old and new values plus all the auditing information such as transaction id, changed date, logon user, operation, machine name etc.
  • Oracle RAC support
  • Easy to use intuitive setup wizard
  • Notifications and full alerting when thresholds or errors occur
  • SNMP integration to allow for integration with existing monitoring infrastructure
  • Full support provided. Automatic packing of log and trace files to easily send to support services
