SharePlex provides high-speed replication from Oracle database to different target databases and messaging containers on major Unix, Linux and Windows operating systems— both on-premises and in the cloud. SharePlex supports a wide variety of configurations to meet different and complex data availability needs.
SharePlex supports reliable Oracle high availability configurations where replication maintains a duplicate database in a different location that is ready for fast, seamless failover and failback in planned or unplanned mode.
You can also use SharePlex to replicate data from Oracle source to maintain a change history database in an Oracle target. Rather than updating or deleting target rows based on the source change, SharePlex inserts a new row on the target for every source change. The result is an archive that reflects the chronological history of every change made to the source database.
SharePlex also includes, at no extra charge, the compare and repair tools that you need to verify the accuracy of a target maintained by replication. These tools not only detect hidden out-of-sync conditions, but they also repair the target to restore parity of your source and target data.
SharePlex value and versatility continues to grow with the requirements and requests of our customers. Although SharePlex is a reliable, relatively low-maintenance solution, our top-rated support team is ready around the clock to help with any trouble you may have. To get you started with your deployment, our professional services team is highly experienced and readily available.

| SPO-24651 | When sp_ctrl receives input from a file with more than 510 bytes of memory, SharePlex displays an error when run in interactive mode, and it enters an infinite loop, exhausting system memory. | Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-24543 | Users have found the non-ASCII characters in the event logs/ sp_eventmon due to the issue with SSL connection between export and import. | Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-24512 | The sp_cop process gets stuck when it doesn't receive a response from the client socket during replication. | Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-24500 | Repair parallelism is not working when the character sets of the source and target databases are different, and users see only one active session. | Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-24498 |
When users execute the drop table statement using the dbms_scheduler package the capture is getting core dump. |
Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-24331 | SharePlex is displaying the ‘StmtExecute failed with ORA 1455’ error when activating the configuration. | Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-24316 | The SharePlex Capture process stops with SP-OCT01007 even when the database is not using TDE, encrypted tablespaces, or columns during the ora_setup. | Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-24248 | SharePlex is not replicating a table with a materialized view from the source to the target, even when the SP_OCT_AUTOADD_MVIEW parameter is set to 1. | Oracle to Oracle |

| SPO-23964 | The SharePlex Capture process is not replicating XML data with the namespace tag, considering it as invalid. | Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-23947 | The SharePlex Capture process is failing due to an sp_wallet issue and displaying the 'Capture: Unknown error code 1' error. | Oracle to Oracle |
| SPO-22520 | After displaying the 'ORA-00060: deadlock' error, the Poster queue does not start automatically again; it requires manual intervention. | Oracle to Oracle |

This chapter contains the basic system requirements for SharePlex. See also: Source and Target System Requirements and Data Types
Before installing SharePlex, ensure that your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements.
For TLS connections, SharePlex supports TLS 1.2 (or later) only.
SharePlex supports IPv4 and IPv6 internet protocols. The following table shows the operating systems for which SharePlex was tested with IPv6.
Note: If the SP_SYS_HOST_NAME environment variable is set to an IPV6 address on the source system, SharePlex on the target system must be version 9.0 or later.

Refer to the following guidelines if the system where you are installing SharePlex is in a configuration where one or more other systems will continue to use an older version of SharePlex. An example is when installing or upgrading SharePlex on a target, but the source will continue to use SharePlex 9.2.x.
Versions with full interoperability
The following SharePlex versions are fully interoperable, including the Compare/Repair feature:
To support replication from a higher to a lower version, set the SP_SYS_TARGET_COMPATIBILITY parameter on the source system to the lower SharePlex version. If Capture is running, restart it.
Important: Downgrading from a higher to a lower version of SharePlex is not supported.
|
Notes:
|
To reset SP_OCT_TARGET_COMPATIBILITY
sp_ctrl> stop capture
In sp_ctrl on the source system, issue the following command:
sp_ctrl>reset param SP_OCT_TARGET_COMPATIBILITY
Restart Capture.
sp_ctrl>start capture
