Configure Replication Engine NTP Server

You can synchronize the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine time clock with the Oracle FS System by configuring the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Synchronizing the time clocks ensures that the timestamps from all of the log files are the same across the data network.

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 NTP.
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. In the NTP Server 1 field, enter the IP address or DNS names of the primary NTP server.
5. Add alternate IP addresses or DNS names to act as the secondary (NTP Server 2)) and tertiary (NTP Server 3) servers.
   Result:
   If the primary NTP server is unavailable, the system consults the alternate servers in round-robin fashion until the Replication Engine connects to an available NTP server. Enter IP addresses for up to two alternate NTP servers.
6. To set the NTP servers, click Save Task.
