BEGIN_LOAD Procedure

This procedure disables triggers while data is imported to the new master site as part of offline instantiation. You must call this procedure from the new master site.

Note: This procedure is used to perform an offline instantiation of a master table in a multimaster replication environment. This procedure should not be confused with the procedures in the DBMS_OFFLINE_SNAPSHOT package (used for performing an offline instantiation of a materialized view) or with the procedures in the DBMS_REPCAT_INSTANTIATE package (used for instantiating a deployment template). See these respective packages for more information on their usage.
