Generating Target Tables and Audit Log Tables Based on Source Table Schema

Generating Target Tables and Audit Log Tables Based on Source Table Schema

You can generate target tables and audit log tables based on source table schema.
Before you begin, open the configuration and connect to the source and target databases.
  1. Click
    Schema
    Generate Schema for the Target
     on the menu bar, or click the
    Generate Schema for the Target
     icon button on the Replication Configurations toolbar.
    The
    Generating Schema for the Target
     dialog box appears.
  2. Under
    Source/Target
    , verify that the
    Source
     option is selected.
  3. In the
    Schema/owner
     field, select the schema or owner name for the source tables that you want to use to generate the target tables.
    The tables that match the selected schema or owner name are listed under
    Tables
    .
    The following image shows an example list of tables that match a schema or owner name of SCOTT:
    The Generating Schema for the Target window displays a searchable list of tables for the selected source schema or owner.
  4. To filter the list of tables, in the
    Filter
     field, enter the first few letters of the source table names that you want to use for generating target tables. For case-sensitive filtering, enclose the filter value in double quotation marks.
    Only the tables that match the filter criteria are listed under
    Tables
    .
    At any time, you can click
    Refresh
     to refresh the schemas for the source and target databases.
  5. Select the tables to use for generating the target tables:
    • To select all listed tables, click
      Select All
      .
    • To select tables individually, select the
      Convert
       check box in the table row.
  6. Under
    Target
    , in the
    Database type
     list, select the target database type.
  7. In the
    Schema
     field, select a schema name for the target tables if the target database type is the one to which you are already connected and that is specified in the configuration. If you selected a different target database type in the
    Database type
     list, enter the correct schema name for the target tables manually.
    For Microsoft SQL Server targets, in the
    Owner
     field, select an owner for the target tables if you are already connected to the SQL Server target database. If you are connected to another type of target database but want to generate target tables for a SQL Server target, enter the owner name to use for the SQL Server target tables manually.
  8. If you use Audit Apply or Merge Apply mode and need to generate audit log tables on the target, select the
    Generate audit log tables
     check box. In the adjacent
    Audit tables suffix
     field, enter a suffix for the generated audit log table names.
    • For Merge Apply, enter the suffix that is specified for the
      Log table suffix for merge apply
       field on the
      Runtime Settings
       tab >
      Calculated Columns
       view.
    • For Audit Apply, you can enter any alphanumeric string as the suffix for the audit log table names. However, if you want to use the
      Map All
       or
      Wildcard map
       button to quickly map all of the audit log tables to the corresponding source tables, you must specify the suffix that is specified in the
      Log table suffix for merge apply
       field on the
      Runtime Settings
       tab >
      Calculated Columns
       view.
    The default suffix is _LOG.
    For Merge Apply mode, if you create a target table manually outside of the Data Replication Console, you must generate the audit log table based on the target table schema.
  9. To create the target tables, perform one of the following actions:
    • To generate a script with SQL CREATE TABLE statements, click
      Save
      . Then in the
      Save
       dialog box, save the generated script to a directory of your choice. You can run the script on the target system later to create the target tables.
    • To create the tables on the target immediately, click
      Run
      . You can perform this action only for the target type to which you are already connected.
      • If you cancel the Run operation while it is in progress, any tables that were already created on the target remain on the target. You can find the SQL CREATE TABLE statements for these tables in the %DBSYNC_HOME%/logs/ui/se.log file.
  10. Click
    Close
