Create Deployment Template

This chapter illustrates how to build a deployment template using the replication managment API. The following topics are discussed:

• Oracle Deployment Templates Concepts

• Build Deployment Template

• Package for Instantiation

• Instantiate Deployment Template

  Before You Instantiate Deployment Templates: If you want to perform fast refreshes of the snapshots that are created by your deployment templates, make sure the master tables for the snapshots have a snapshot log. You also need to create a snapshot log for the master tables specified in a subquery of a snapshot. The following example shows how to create a snapshot log on the SCOTT.EMP master table: CREATE SNAPSHOT LOG ON scott.emp; If conflicts are possible at the master site due to activity at the snapshot sites you are creating, configure conflict resolution for the master tables of the snapshots before you instantiate a deployment template. See Chapter 6, "Conflict Resolution" for information about configuring conflict resolution.
