SharePlex 10.1.3 - Installation and Setup for Oracle on RDS

Oracle Post Parameters

These parameters are used by the SharePlex Post process when applying data to an Oracle target.

SP_OPO_CHANGE_ID_START_VALUE

This parameter sets a start value for the changeid metadata column that can be included in a change history target and is set with the target command. The changeid is generated by SharePlex to uniquely identify records and prevent duplicates.

 

Default: 0 (off)

Range of valid values: 0 to 9223372036854775807

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_COMMIT_REDUCE_MSGS

Sets the threshold for the Commit Reduction component of the Post Enhanced Performance feature. The Commit Reduction feature enables you to configure Post to combine smaller transactions into larger ones. This reduces the number of commits and acknowledgments that must be processed. The smaller the transaction, the bigger the performance gain.

When the specified number of messages is reached, Post issues a commit. The commits of transactions whose transactional borders are within this span of messages are skipped, and those transactions are all committed as one transaction. Commit reduction is on by default. To disable it, set this parameter to a value of 1.

The parameter setting is not an absolute threshold. SharePlex will not break up a transaction across different combined transactions. Therefore, Post may need to exceed that threshold in order to include all of the operations and the commit of the last transaction in the group.

 

Default: 100 messages

Range of valid values: 1 or any positive integer.

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_CONNECTION_POOL

This parameter controls how Post uses the connection pool.

When connection pooling is enabled (the default) and a subqueue needs a connection to Oracle, it will try to find a subqueue that is committed. If it finds one, it will take that connection rather than open a new connection to Oracle. This allows Post to operate with fewer connections to Oracle.

Without connection pooling, each subqueue has a separate connection to Oracle and will keep that connection for a number of seconds (determined by the parameter SP_OPO_IDLE_LOGOUT) until the subqueue is committed.

To use this parameter:

  • Enabling connection pooling can be helpful if SharePlex is running with a large number of subqueues.
  • If SharePlex is running with a small number of subqueues (less than 20) that get reused quickly, it may be more efficient to disable the pooling and not move the connections around.

 

Default: 1 (enabled)

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: when Post is restarted.

 

SP_OPO_CONT_ON_ERR

This parameter controls whether or not Post stops when it encounters errors that can be corrected. When this flag is set to the default of 0, Post stops for all Oracle and SharePlex errors. To have Post continue posting despite certain SharePlex or Oracle errors, list them in the oramsglist file in the data subdirectory of the variable-data directory and set this parameter to 1. If this parameter is set to 2, Post will treat table errors the same as other errors and stop unless the error is listed in the oramsglist file.

Post will always continue to post despite the following errors, regardless of the parameter setting:

Default errors for which Post will not stop

  • unique key violation
  • operation interrupted
  • no data found
  • no such table
  • invalid number
  • non-numeric in date
  • invalid rowid
  • invalid hex number
  • cannot update not-null to null
  • Year must be between -4713 and +9999
  • check constraint violated
  • packet writer failure*
  • sequence not found
  • Oracle internal error

*Packet writer failure and resource busy with nowait will retry based on the SP_OPO_RETRIES_MAX parameter which defaults to 10 after which poster will exit

For more information about how to configure Post to continue on errors, see the SharePlex Administration Guide.

 

Default: 0 (stop on all errors)

Range of valid values: 0, 1, 2 (flag)

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_DEPENDENCY_CHECK

This parameter controls the following features:

  • The Transaction Concurrency component of the Post Enhanced Performance feature. For more information about how to tune the performance of Post, see the SharePlex Administration Guide.
  • Post handling of enabled ON DELETE CASCADE constraints on target tables (apply the replicated parent delete and ignore the replicated cascaded deletes).

To support these features, do the following:

  1. Set SP_OPO_DEPENDENCY_CHECK to the appropriate value:

    • To enable Commit Reduction and Transaction Concurrency, set this parameter to 1. To use this feature, supplemental logging for primary and unique keys must be enabled on the source.
    • To enable ON DELETE CASCADE, set this parameter to 2. Note: The ON DELETE CASCADE feature is dependent on the Post Enhanced Performance feature, which is enabled with a setting of 2. In addition to setting SP_OPO_DEPENDENCY_CHECK, you must also enable the logging of primary keys, unique index columns, and foreign key columns on the source.
  2. Set the SP_OCT_REDUCED_KEY parameter to 0, which sends all of the required data to the target for use by Post. See SP_OCT_REDUCED_KEY .
  3. Set the SP_OPO_REDUCED_KEY parameter to 0, 1 (the default) or 2. See SP_OPO_REDUCED_KEY.

 

Default: 0 (off)

Range of valid values: 0, 1, 2 (flag)

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_DEPENDENCY_SIZE

This parameter sets the size of the memory that is used by dependency checking in the Post Enhanced Performance feature. The default value should be sufficient, but you can increase it if needed.

 

Default: 7019

Range of valid values: Any valid memory value

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_DISABLE_OBJECT_NUM

This parameter prevents Post from posting replicated DML and DDL operations to the target, based on the object ID of the source table. You can set this parameter if the data in a source table is invalid or corrupted, if the source table contains data types that are not supported on the target, or for any other reason that you do not want operations for a table to be reflected in the target database.

You can set this parameter for one or more tables. It prevents further replication activity on the target table(s) of a source table until you have time to resynchronize the data and reactivate the configuration file. The Post process discards all replicated messages for these tables from the post queue, and the messages do not accumulate in the queue.

Use the parameter with caution. If it is enabled and DDL or DML is executed for the source table(s), the target data will be out of date because the changes are not posted. If there are dependencies on the table(s), such as a foreign key in other tables outside the replication configuration, disabling posting will prevent the dependencies from being satisfied.

This parameter is disabled by default. To enable it, issue the following command on the target system, where the numbers shown are the object IDs of the source tables to exclude from posting.

sp_ctrl(sysB)> set param SP_OPO_DISABLE_OBJECT_NUM 12345,67890

Separate each object ID with a comma, and allow no spaces between them. To use spaces between entries, enclose the entire list within quotes, as in the following example:

sp_ctrl(sysB)> set param SP_OPO_DISABLE_OBJECT_NUM "498438, 1000, 497109"

Invalid object IDs will be ignored.

When you are ready to begin posting to the target table again, set SP_OPO_DISABLE_OBJECT_NUM to 0.

 

Default: 0 (off)

Range of valid values: list of valid Oracle Object IDs separated by commas

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_HINTS_LIMIT

This parameter controls the maximum number of hints (table/index combinations) that can be listed in the hints file. Use hints only if you see that Post is doing full table scans on tables where there are defined indexes. Using a large number of hints can reduce the performance of the Post process. See the SharePlex Administration Guide for more information about the hints feature.

 

Default: 100 hints

Range of valid values: any positive integer

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_LOG_CONFLICT

This parameter enables the logging of information about successful conflict resolution procedures to the SHAREPLEX_CONF_LOG table. This applies only to the prepared routines that are provided by SharePlex.

  • A setting of 1 enables the logging of conflict resolution to the SHAREPLEX_CONF_LOG table.

    Note: A setting of 1 will not update the columns EXISTING_TIMESTAMP and TARGET_ROWID (when existing data is not replaced) in the SHAREPLEX_CONF_LOG table.

  • A setting of 2 enables the logging of conflict resolution to the SHAREPLEX_CONF_LOG table with Post query for additional meta data.

    Using LeastRecentRecord or MostRecentRecord prepared routines Post will query the target database for the timestamp column of the existing record. The query result is logged into the EXISTING_TIMESTAMP column of the SHAREPLEX_CONF_LOG table.

    For any prepared routines, on rows that aren't replaced by the incoming record, Post will query the TARGET_ROWID of the existing row that could have been replaced. Otherwise the ROWID of the existing row will not be logged.

    Note: A setting of 2 may affect the performance of Post as a result of making the query.

 

Default: 0 (Disabled)

Range of valid values: 0, 1, or 2

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_MAX_CDA

This parameter is for the SQL cache module and controls the max number of cursor caches that a session can concurrently open. This number must be smaller than the Oracle setting for OPEN_CURSORS in v$parameter view. It is only used when SP_OPO_SQL_CACHE_DISABLE is set to 0 (enabled).

 

Default: 50

Range of valid values: any positive integer

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_MAX_OEXN_TIME

This parameter controls the maximum duration, in seconds, that a SQL thread may spend in a call to OCIStmtExecute ( ) before the timekeeper thread defaults to a deadlocked position and forces the Multi-threaded Post process to exit.

 

Default: 900 [seconds]

Range of valid values: any positive integer

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_MAX_ROLLBACK_MESSAGES

This parameter is the maximum number of messages to which the backward count is incremented for a partial rollback. The main thread scans forward and counts the backward messages. Once the backward count reaches the maximum number set for this parameter, the main thread resolves the rollback. When the rollback is resolved, the main thread resumes dispatching messages. If there are more backward messages, the main thread again scans forward in the subqueue. The next group of 10,000 backward messages (if the value for the parameter is set to 10,000) is then resolved, using the same procedure.

 

Default: 10,000 messages

Range of valid values: 11 - 1,000,000

Takes effect: when Post is restarted.

 

SP_OPO_NLS_CONVERSION

This parameter controls character set conversion between an Oracle source and an Oracle target.

For SharePlex to replicate all characters within the Oracle character sets that you are using, one of the following must be true:

  • The character sets are identical on the source and target
  • The character set of the source database is a subset of the character set of the target database (all characters contained on the source exist in the character set of the target)

The following character sets are tested and supported for SharePlex:

US7ASCII

UTF8

WE8ISO8859P1

AL16UTF16

AL32UTF8

KO16KSC5601

By default, SharePlex allows an Oracle target database to perform character conversion. Post notifies Oracle of the character encoding of the source data and Oracle performs any required conversion.

Depending on the character sets involved, the Oracle conversion might lead to data loss. For example:

Example 1: The Japanese character for 'rice' in the JA16SJIS character set has no corresponding symbol in the US7ASCII character set. If you attempt to replicate this symbol into a US7ASCII database, Oracle converts it to a '?' character.

Example 2: According to Oracle, the WE8ISO8859P1 character set is a superset of the US7ASCII character set, so it is logical to assume that any character in US7ASCII is posted unconverted into a WE8ISO8859P1 target database. This is true for characters in the range 0x00 to 0x7F. However, Oracle strips off the top bit of characters in the range 0x80 to 0xFF. This "conversion" may result in data loss while replicating to a character set that is a superset of the source.

Note: Oracle does not convert characters if the character sets are identical. Thus, posting WE8ISO8859P1 data to a database with a character set of WE8ISO8859P1 bypasses the Oracle conversion process.

To apply data without conversion

Set the SP_OPO_NLS_CONVERSION parameter to 1 to apply the data with conversion.

Note: SharePlex will always convert NVARCHAR and NCLOB data if the NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET of the source database is not the same as that of the target database.

 

Default: 1

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: when Post is restarted.

 

SP_OPO_NLS_DEFAULT_COMPAT

This parameter controls whether Post converts character data (CHAR, VARCHAR). By default no conversion is performed. When set to 7, Post will not convert character data, but will convert CLOB data. The compare/repair commands will compare and repair character data without conversion and CLOB data with conversion. The replication of NCHAR data is not affected.

SP_OPO_NLS_DEFAULT_COMPAT takes precedence over SP_OPO_NLS_CONVERSION.

 

Default: 0

Range of valid values: 0 or 7

Takes effect: when Post is restarted.

 

SP_OPO_OBJID_DEBUG

This parameter allows debugging for one specific object, such as a table, for Post. The SP_OPO_OBJID_DEBUG parameter is typically used for debugging out-of-syncs. To use the SP_OPO_OBJID_DEBUG parameter, set its value on the target system to the value of the object ID for the object from the source database.

 

Default: 0

Range of valid values: Any number greater than or equal to 0

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_ONELINE_DEBUG

This parameter controls the oneline debug feature for the Post process.

The oneline debug feature enables you to perform debugging for out-of-sync errors without consuming a large amount of the system resources. The oneline debug logs just enough information in one line to detect where in the data stream an out-of-sync condition occurred. Once oneline debug identifies the process that is causing the problem, you can then enable regular debugging for that process.

To enable this parameter, specify the objects that you want to debug by their object ID, and separate each one by a comma. An example is:

sp_ctrl> set sp_opo_oneline_debug 230230, 351626

The following items are logged:

  • The state of the operation, which can be Dispatch (read from queue), ProcessMessage (process the SQL code), Skipped (commit if the Commit Reduction feature is enabled) or ExecSQL (apply to target)
  • The transaction identifier used by SharePlex
  • The type of DML or DDL operation that was affected
  • The object ID of the affected source table
  • The row identifier of the affected row. (Oracle rowid)
  • The time when the operation occurred (Oracle)
  • The log sequence number and offset within the log of the affected operation
  • The Oracle SCN for the transaction
  • An internal SharePlex code that prevents redundant operations

 

Default: Disabled

Range of valid values: a string that forms a list of objects listed by object ID, separated by commas.

Takes effect: Immediately

 

SP_OPO_OUT_OF_SYNC_SUSPEND

This parameter controls what SharePlex does when it encounters an out-of-sync condition, based on the following:

  • INSERT: The row already exists, resulting in a Unique constraint violation error.
  • UPDATE and DELETE: The row is not in the database.

Value of 0 (default)

The default Post behavior when a transaction contains an out-of-sync operation is to continue processing other valid operations in the transaction to minimize latency and keep targets as current as possible. Latency is the amount of time between when a source transaction occurs and when it is applied to the target. Different factors affect the amount of latency in replication, such as unusually high transaction volumes or interruptions to network traffic.

Post logs the SQL statement and data for the out-of-sync operation to the ID_errlog.sql log file, where ID is the database identifier. This file is in the log sub-directory of the variable-data directory on the target system.

Value of 1

A value of 1 directs Post to stop posting when it encounters an out-of-sync condition. Post logs the SQL statement and data for the out-of-sync operation to the ID_errlog.sql log file, and then stops.

When you set this parameter to a value of 1, check the status of the replication processes frequently. Stopping Post causes latency between source and target databases, and it causes data to accumulate in the replication queues, which could cause them to exceed available disk space. SharePlex provides several sp_ctrl commands for checking replication status, and it provides tools for unattended SharePlex monitoring. See the SharePlex Administration Guide for more information about how to monitor SharePlex.

See also SP_OPO_SAVE_OOS_TRANSACTION to configure Post to roll back the entire transaction if it contains any out-of-sync operations.

 

Default: 0 (do not stop for out-of-sync conditions)

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_POSTER_DELAY

This parameter controls the amount of time that the Post process delays before it posts records to the target instance. Normally, Post applies the changes immediately to minimize latency between the source and target systems, but you can delay posting for up to 5 days (7200 minutes).

Delaying posting helps protect the data against accidental loss caused by unwanted deletes or object drops on the source system. The delay gives you enough time to detect the mistake and retrieve the data from the target instance before the mistake is replicated. Running “what-if” analyses is another reason you could change the default of this parameter. Having the target database behind in time enables you to validate predictive modeling compared to the real thing.

The delay caused by SP_OPO_POSTER_DELAY is measured from the time the message first appears in the redo logs. Things to consider when using this parameter include the following:

  1. Make certain that there is enough disk space for the data to collect in the post queue for the designated time interval until it is applied to the database.
  2. To determine when to start posting based on the parameter’s setting, SharePlex compares the target system’s current timestamp with the time that a record enters the redo log on the source system. Those machines could be in different locations, perhaps thousands of miles from each other. Consider any difference between time zones, and add that to the delay time.

    For example, there is an 18-hour time difference between Los Angeles, California, U.S.A., and Sydney, Australia. To delay posting for five hours, you would need to set SP_OPO_POSTER_DELAY to 23 hours (1380 minutes) to account for the desired five-hour delay plus the 18-hour time difference. Also consider whether or not a location observes Daylight Savings Time, which could change the time difference between two locations. The way that Daylight Savings Time is observed varies among, and even within, nations that use it.

  3. Do not use this parameter going back in time, for example when a source system is in Sydney and a target system is in Los Angeles. To SharePlex, this as a negative time difference when the time stamps on each system are compared. For example, 2:00 in the morning on April 2 in Sydney is 8:00 in the morning on April 1 in Los Angeles. The parameter does not accommodate settings of less than 0.

 

Default: 0 minutes

Range of valid values: 0 to 7200 minutes

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_PRB_MISMATCH_SUSPEND

This parameter, when set to 1, will cause Post to stop when there is a mismatch on a partial rollback. This allows the problem to be investigated and resolved before Post resumes processing.

 

Default: 0 (off)

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_READRELEASE_INTERVAL

This parameter controls how often Post read/releases. Normally, Post performs a read/ release after it receives each COMMIT, which means it purges that transaction's data from the queue as part of the checkpoint recovery process. For smaller transactions, this causes excessive I/O on the target system and slows Post. If most transactions are small, you can set this parameter so that Post read/releases after a certain number of messages instead of after every COMMIT.

When you set a read/release interval, be aware that if new data does not follow a committed transaction (for example, if it was the last transaction of the day or there is no more user activity), Post processes the COMMIT and waits a certain amount of time, which is controlled by the internal SP_OPO_IDLE_LOGOUT parameter. If no data arrives, Post performs the read/release even though the SP_OPO_READRELEASE_INTERVAL interval is not satisfied. The number of messages in the post queue reduces to 0, indicating that Post is finished processing all messages from the queue.

Note: Because the Post process has multiple threads, the number of messages is associated with each thread instead of the queue. Thus, the read/release interval can be longer than expected, and you might need to lower the default value.

 

Default: 100

Range of valid values: any positive integer

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_REDUCED_KEY

This parameter controls the content of the Post WHERE clause. Post uses a WHERE clause to find the row in the target that needs to be changed by a replicated UPDATE from the source. Different SharePlex features may require more or less data to be used in the Post WHERE clause.

  • If set to 0, this parameter directs Post to construct a WHERE clause of all of the data that is sent by Capture. The data that Capture sends depends on the setting of the SP_OCT_REDUCED_KEY parameter. If you want the WHERE clause to include the values of the keys and all of the columns other than LONGs or LOBs, set both parameters to 0.

    IMPORTANT! In a peer-to-peer configuration, a setting of 0 is required.

  • If set to 1, this parameter directs Post to build a WHERE clause with the key values and the before values of the columns that changed. This setting provides a good balance between replication performance and target data integrity, because it enables Post to perform a before-and-after comparison of the changed columns when constructing the WHERE clause. To be able to use this setting, the SP_OCT_REDUCED_KEY parameter must be set to 0 or 1. For more information about how SharePlex uses before and after values, see the SharePlex Administration Guide.
  • If set to 2, this parameter directs Post to build a WHERE clause of only the key columns. This setting can be used to maximize posting performance. Because this setting omits the before-and-after comparison of the changed columns, you should ensure that no process or user can make changes to the target data except SharePlex. Additionally, it is recommended that you perform regular integrity verification by using the compare command.

    Note: When the SP_OPO_REDUCED_KEY parameter is set to 2 in the horizontally partitioned replication, Poster will prepare the WHERE clause with keys and before data of columns that is added for the UPDATE clause.

See also SP_OCT_REDUCED_KEY .

 

Default: 0

Range of Valid Values: 0, 1, 2

Takes effect: When Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_RETRIES_MAX

This parameter controls the number of times that the Post process attempts to post a SQL statement that failed the first time.

Post will retry certain failed operations when there is the possibility that they will succeed with another attempt. The main operations that Post will retry are TNS write failures, connection failures, or locks on tables when Post needs to apply a TRUNCATE.

To increase the likelihood that the failed operations are successful, you can increase the SP_OPO_RETRIES_MAX parameter so that Post tries the operation more times. At the same time, increase the SP_OPO_RETRY_DELAY_TIME parameter to increase the time interval between the attempts. That gives the lock or other blocking operation enough time to be resolved between attempts.

If the Post process is set to continue on error (SP_SYS_SUSPEND_ON_ERROR=0) or if the error message is listed in the oramsglist file, Post moves on to the next transaction in the queue. In all other cases, Post stops after it reaches the maximum allowed attempts.

Important: Reducing this parameter can cause the data to accumulate in the queues, possibly causing them to exceed the available disk space.

 

Default: 10 times

Range of valid values: 0 or any positive integer

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_SAVE_OOS_TRANSACTION

This parameter controls whether or not Post rolls back and discards a transaction if it contains any out-of-sync operations. This functionality is controlled by the SP_OPO_SAVE_OOS_TRANSACTION parameter.

How to use this parameter

When this parameter is set to 1 and a transaction contains any operations that generate out-of-sync errors, Post discards the entire transaction and saves all the operations of that transaction to a SQL file. You can edit this file to repair the problem with the failed SQL and then run the file to apply the transaction to the target database.

When this parameter is set to 1, Post will continue to process valid transactions that follow a rolled back transaction by default. This is to prevent target latency. To configure Post to stop after rolling back a transaction, set the SP_OPO_OUT_OF_SYNC_SUSPEND parameter to 1.

Important!

This parameter should only be used if you know that your applications make all interdependent changes within one transaction.

All of the tables involved in the transaction that is being rolled back must contain only the following data types:

  • CHAR – US7ASCII
  • VARCHAR – US7ASCII
  • NUMBER
  • DATE
  • TIMESTAMP
  • TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
  • TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE
  • INTERVAL
  • ROWID
  • RAW
  • BINARY FLOAT
  • BINARY DOUBLE

Each rolled back transaction has its own SQL file. The file name is SCN_queue.sql, where:

  • SCN is the commit System Change Number (SCN) of the transaction.
  • queue is the name of the Post queue that contains the transaction.

Example file name:

4346118046_postq1.sql

Note:

Each SQL file is stored in the oos subdirectory of the SharePlex variable-data directory. You may need to change the location of the files if you use the ora_cleansp utility to re-initiate the SharePlex environment. This utility deletes the transaction files when you run it. You can modify the location, size, and number of SQL files by using any of the options of the file category of the target command.

Notes:

  • When this feature is enabled, Post writes the whole transaction to the SCN_queue.sql file, instead of writing only the out-of-sync portion of the transaction to the errlog.sql file.
  • This feature supports Oracle targets only.
  • Post will still generate out-of-sync messages in the statusdb which will show when the show statusdb command is issued in sp_ctrl. You can use the clear status command to clear these status messages after you apply the transaction using the SQL file.
  • A rolled back transaction cannot be "un-rolled back."

 

Default: 0 (off)

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_SQL_CACHE_DISABLE

This parameter enables or disables the SQL Cache feature. By default, SQL Cache is on, and this parameter is set to 0. A setting of 1 disables SQL Cache. A setting of 3 disables SQL Cache for batch operations to reduce the amount of memory that Post uses. (A setting of 2 is not available.)

If you disable SQL caching, SharePlex prints the following message to the Event Log: SQL Cache disabled.

For more information about SQL Cache, see the SharePlex Administration Guide.

 

Default: 0 (on)

Range of valid values: 0, 1, or 3

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_STOP_ON_DDL_ERR

This parameter controls whether or not the Post process stops when there is an error applying DDL. The default of 1 directs Post to stop for errors. An error usually indicates that the source component for which the DDL was executed does not exist in the target database, indicating the likelihood that subsequent DML changes will also fail. Stopping Post prevents the DML failures and enables you to correct the problem to keep the databases synchronized.

 

Default: 1 (on)

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: immediately

 

SP_OPO_SUPPRESS_DELETE

This parameter controls whether or not Post applies DELETE operations to the target. Suppressing DELETE operations may be appropriate in situations such as a data warehouse, where a row must exist centrally even though it is deleted from its source table. You can set and unset this parameter without modifying or activating a configuration file. Set it to 1 to suppress DELETES.

 

Default: 0 (off)

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: Process restart

 

SP_OPO_SUPPRESSED_OOS

This parameter controls whether Post returns an out-of-sync message when it detects that a target row already contains the changes that are being replicated from the source. If this condition is met, Post discards the replicated SQL and does not write an out-of-sync message to the Event Log or the errlog.sql log file.

This parameter supports INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations in the following cases:

  • All values (including the key value) of a replicated INSERT match the existing values of a row in the target.
  • The key value of an UPDATE matches a row in the target and the existing values in that row match the after (change) values that were replicated from the source. Note: SharePlex will return an out-of-sync message if the target values do not match the replicated after values.
  • The target row of a DELETE operation does not exist.

By default this parameter is enabled. However, you should still use tools that verify all of the target data, such as the compare command, because out-of-sync values can exist that are not detected by Post.

 

Default: 1

Range of valid values: 0 (disabled) or 1

Takes effect: Immediately

 

SP_OPO_SYNC_LOG_FREQUENCY

This parameter controls how often Post logs out-of-sync messages to the event log (event_log file in the variable-data directory). When Post detects an out-of-sync condition, it generates an out-of-sync event. If target target table is so out-of-sync that the event log is filling up with these messages, you can use this parameter to control how frequently these messages are logged.

When this parameter is greater than 0, Post logs the first out-of-sync error and then logs out-of-sync messages only at the specified interval. Post continues posting valid data until the out-of-sync table can be re-synchronized.

 

Default: 1 (log every out-of-sync message)

Range of valid values: Integer greater than 0

Takes effect: Immediately

 

SP_OPO_THREADS_MAX

This parameter is used primarily in testing to view the behavior of a SQL thread when it is handling several subqueues. The minimum number of threads is four, which enables the Post process to create the main thread, the timekeeper thread, the signal waiter thread, and one SQL thread.

 

Default: 128 threads

Range of valid values: 4 threads (minimum) to 1024 threads (maximum)

Takes effect: When the Post process is restarted

 

SP_OPO_TRACK_COMMITS

This parameter controls whether or not the Post process tracks commits. If it is 1, Post will also insert a row for every commit.

 

Default: 0 (off)

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: When the Post process is restarted

 

SP_OPO_TRACK_OPERATIONS

This parameter controls which DML is tracked by Post when maintaining a change history target database. By default, Post tracks all DML types. For example, to configure Post so that only inserts and updates are tracked, set the parameter to I/U.

 

Default: I/U/D (inserts, updates and deletes)

Range of valid values: Any combination of I, U, or D separated by a slash (/)

Takes effect: When the Post process is restarted

 

SP_OPO_TRACK_PREIMAGE

This parameter controls whether or not the Post process tracks the before image of inserts and updates or the after image of deletes. The before image for an insert and the after image for a delete includes the key values, with all other columns set to null.

You can set this parameter to I, U, or D, or any combination of those values separated by slashes, for example: I/U. When this parameter is used, Post applies two rows for each operation of the specified type. One has the column values of the before image, and the other has the values of the after image.

 

Default: off

Range of valid values: I, U, D

Takes effect: When the Post process is restarted

 

SP_OPO_TRUSTED_SOURCE

This parameter specifies the trusted source system, which contains the data that is considered to be the primary set of data in a peer-to-peer replication environment. The trusted host can be used in custom conflict resolution routines and is also the basis of one of the prepared routines provided with SharePlex. For more information about conflict resolution and peer-to-peer replication, see the SharePlex Administration Guide.

Default: None

Range of valid values: Any valid host name in the SharePlex replication environment

Takes effect: When the Post process is restarted

 

SP_OPO_UPDATE_SCN

This parameter controls the tracking of Oracle SCNs and allows SharePlex to recover quickly when operating in a high-availability cluster. When this parameter is enabled, SharePlex tracks SCNs in its internal transaction table. This enables SharePlex to activate to the lowest applied transaction and then reconcile to the correct transaction when there is a failover.

Note: Enabling this parameter disables the commit reduction feature of the Post Enhanced Performance feature. That feature is not supported when tracking SCNs.

 

Default: 0

Range of valid values: 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled)

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_USE_VARNUM

This parameter causes Post to use a varnum to enter numbers into the target database. It allows non-standard high precision values to be entered into a number column in the database.

 

Default: 0 (Off)

Range of valid values: 0 or 1 (flag)

Takes effect: when Post is restarted

 

SP_OPO_WAIT_MSG_DELAY

This parameter controls how long Post waits before generating a message indicating that it is killing old or stalled Oracle sessions. Those messages occur at the startup of Post.

 

Default: 300 seconds

Range of valid values: any positive integer up to 86400

Takes effect: when Post is restarted
