Start replication on your production systems

What is activation? Activation commands Requirements for activating a configuration Test the configuration before activation Frequently Asked Questions about activation How to activate multiple configuration files Activate replication with an Oracle hot backup on an active database Activate replication with an Oracle hot backup on a quiet database Activate replication with Oracle transportable tablespaces Activate replication with cold copy/transfer methods Activate replication from Oracle to Open Target Activate replication from a SQL Server source to any target

Monitor SharePlex

View and kill SharePlex processes View events and errors Monitor with sp_ctrl commands Run monitor scripts on UNIX

Tune the Capture process

Disable LOB Mapping Tune Capture on Exadata Tune Checkpointing Add a second thread

Tune the Post process

Use INDEX hints Tune SQL Caching Adjust open cursors Skip maintenance DML Make small transactions faster Split a large transaction into a smaller one Tune queue performance Tune hash-based horizontally partitioned replication

Recover replication after Oracle failover

Recover replication if the primary system fails Recover replication if the secondary Oracle instance fails Move replication during planned failover and failback Resume replication after failure and recovery

Make changes to an active replication environment

Change a configuration file Add or change table specifications in an active replication configuration Change Partitioned Replication Add Oracle sequences to an active replication configuration Remove objects from replication Make DDL changes in an active replication configuration Make Oracle changes that affect replication Change the SharePlex database account Change the name or IP address of a replication host Set the SharePlex port number

Apply an Oracle application patch or upgrade

Before you patch or upgrade an application Apply patch/upgrade to source then copy it to target Apply patch/upgrade to source and target Apply patch to source and replicate it to the target

Back up Oracle data on the source or target

Perform a partial backup of the source system Perform a full backup on the source system

status

Use the status command to view a summary of the status of replication on a system, to ensure that processes are running and to check for errors, warnings or notices. For a more detailed status report, use the lstatus command.

The status display shows:

Process: The name of the process.
State: The status of each process, either running, idle, stopped due to error, or stopped by user
PID: The operating-system process ID number of the process
Running Since: The date and time that the process was started
Other information: such as how the system is being used, if there is an active configuration on the system, and if replication errors occurred.

SharePlex updates the status display at intervals determined by the SP_COP_IDLETIME parameter.

Usage

Supported sources:	Oracle and SQL Server
Supported targets:	All
Authorization level:	Viewer (3)
Issued for:	source or target system
Related commands:	lstatus, qstatus, show, show statusdb

Syntax

Basic command

Remote options

status

[ on host |

on host:portnumber |

on login/password@host |

on login/password@host:portnumber ]

Remote options

These options enable you to issue the command on a remote machine and to script commands that include a login name, password, port number, or combination of those items.

Option	Description
on host	Execute the command on a remote system (one other than the one where the current sp_ctrl session is running). You are prompted for login credentials for the remote system. If used, must be the last component of the command syntax. Example: sp_ctrl(sysB)>status on SysA
on host:portnumber	Execute the command on a remote system when a remote login and port number must be provided. If used, must be the last component of the command syntax. Example: sp_ctrl(sysB)>status on SysA:8304
on login/password@host	Execute the command on a remote system when a remote login, password, and host name must be provided. If used, must be the last component of the command syntax. Example: sp_ctrl(sysB)>status on john/spot5489@SysA
on login/password@host:portnumber	Execute the command on a remote system when a remote login, password, host name, and port number must be provided. If used, must be the last component of the command syntax. Example: sp_ctrl(sysB)>status on john/spot5489@SysA:8304
