A Step by Step example on setting up Streams - Oracle 11g

Setup Oracle Streams

Step 1 Create Users & Setup Privileges
SQL>CREATE USER SADM IDENTIFIED BY SADM; SQL>GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE, DBA TO SADM; SQL>GRANT SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE TO SADM; SQL>GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO SADM; SQL>EXECUTE DBMS_STREAMS_AUTH.GRANT_ADMIN_PRIVILEGE(GRANTEE => 'SADM');

Step 2 Create database links at source and target databases

connect SADM/SADM@TST1 CREATE DATABASE LINK TST2 CONNECT TO SADM IDENTIFIED BY SADM USING 'TST2';

connect SADM/SADM@TST2 CREATE DATABASE LINK TST1 CONNECT TO SADM IDENTIFIED BY SADM USING 'TST1';

Step 3 Create the queue at TST1 - Source Database

connect SADM/SADM@TST1 BEGIN DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE ( QUEUE_TABLE => 'C1_STREAM_Q1_QT', QUEUE_NAME => 'C1_STREAM_Q1', QUEUE_USER => 'SADM'); END; /

Create the queue at TST2 (Target) ## connect SADM/SADM@TST2 BEGIN DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE ( QUEUE_TABLE => 'A1_STREAM_Q1_QT', QUEUE_NAME => 'A1_STREAM_Q1', QUEUE_USER => 'SADM'); END; /

Step 4 Create capture at source

Connect to TST1... connect SADM/SADM@TST1 BEGIN DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_SCHEMA_RULES( schema_name =>'EDW_APP_OWNER', streams_type =>'CAPTURE', streams_name =>'C1_STREAM', queue_name =>'SADM.C1_STREAM_Q1', include_dml =>TRUE, include_ddl =>TRUE, source_database =>'TST1'); END; /

Step 5 Create apply process at target

connect SADM/SADM@TST2 BEGIN DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_SCHEMA_RULES ( SCHEMA_NAME => 'EDW_APP_OWNER', STREAMS_TYPE => 'APPLY', STREAMS_NAME => 'A1_STREAM', QUEUE_NAME => 'SADM.A1_STREAM_Q1', INCLUDE_DML => TRUE, INCLUDE_DDL => TRUE, SOURCE_DATABASE => 'TST1');

END; /

BEGIN DBMS_APPLY_ADM.SET_PARAMETER( apply_name => 'A1_STREAM', parameter => 'disable_on_error', value => 'n'); END; /

Step 6 Create propagation at source

connect SADM/SADM@TST1 BEGIN DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.ADD_SCHEMA_PROPAGATION_RULES ( SCHEMA_NAME => 'EDW_APP_OWNER', STREAMS_NAME => 'P1_STREAM', SOURCE_QUEUE_NAME => 'SADM.C1_STREAM_Q1', DESTINATION_QUEUE_NAME => 'SADM.A1_STREAM_Q1@TST2', INCLUDE_DML => TRUE, INCLUDE_DDL => TRUE); END; /

Step 7 Instantiation at TST2

At source TST1... SELECT DBMS_FLASHBACK.GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER FROM DUAL; expdp SADM/SADM@TST1 SCHEMAS=EDW_APP_OWNER DIRECTORY=expadmin DUMPFILE=EDW_APP_OWNER.dmp logfile=EDW_APP_OWNER.log PARALLEL=4 FLASHBACK_SCN=<scn>

At Target TST2... impdp SADM/SADM@TST2 SCHEMAS=EDW_APP_OWNER DIRECTORY=expadmin DUMPFILE=EDW_APP_OWNER.dmp logfile=EDW_APP_OWNER.log PARALLEL=4

Check if schema instantiation is working fine..

select * from DBA_APPLY_INSTANTIATED_SCHEMAS; connect SADM/SADM@TST2 declare v_scn number; begin v_scn := 943015; dbms_output.put_line('Scn : ' || v_scn); dbms_apply_adm.set_schema_instantiation_scn( source_schema_name => 'EDW_APP_OWNER', source_database_name => 'TST1', instantiation_scn => v_scn, recursive => true); end; /

Step 8 At target start apply

connect SADM/SADM@TST2 exec dbms_apply_adm.start_apply('A1_STREAM');

Step 9 At source start capture

connect SADM/SADM@TST1 exec DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.START_CAPTURE('C1_STREAM');
