Configure Replication Engine DNS Server

You can configure the Domain Name Server (DNS) domain name and servers for the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine. DNS is the TCP/IP protocol that allows you use names rather than IP address numbers to refer to the Support UI host computer.

You can define a primary DNS server and a secondary DNS server. The system uses the primary DNS server to resolve host names into IP addresses. If the primary server cannot be reached, the system uses the secondary DNS server.

  1. Log in to the Support User Interface page on the control service Replication Engine.
    Result:
    The Dashboard page displays.
  2. Select Management Tasks > Configure DNS.
  3. From the Host list, select either a single host, or select All Servers to select the Replication Engines that are available in the replication configuration.
  4. Enter the Domain Name.
  5. Enter the DNS Name Server.
    Note: Separate multiple DNS name server entries with commas.
  6. To set the DNS server names, click Save DNS Details.

When you save your changes, the system displays the Task Status page. You can monitor the task progress and, in some cases, cancel the change from this page.
