Configuring Integration with Informatica Data Replication

If you have the Informatica Data Replication product for change data replication, you can enable Fast Clone to use the Data Replication configuration file to perform an initial load of a data replication target. In the Fast Clone Console, enable integration with Data Replication and specify the Data Replication XML configuration file.

Ensure that the mapped source columns in the Data Replication configuration file have datatypes that Fast Clone supports for unload processing.

To integrate Fast Clone with Data Replication, the Fast Clone Console requires source and target connection information. Fast Clone uses this information to generate a minimal .ini configuration file for the data-cloning job. When you run the Fast Clone cloning job, the Fast Clone executable reads the connection information from the generated cloning configuration file and all of the other settings from the Data Replication XML configuration file.

After Fast Clone loads data to a target, it updates the SCN value in the Data Replication XML configuration file. When you use this configuration file for change data replication, Data Replication uses the updated SCN to replicate the changes that occur after the initial load of the target.

Fast Clone does not support Data Replication configurations that include virtual columns.

On the

Source DB

tab, enter connection information for the source database and click

Connect

to connect to the source.

On the

Target DB

tab, enter connection information for the target database.

If you want to validate the target connection information, connect to the target database. However, Fast Clone does not require that you connect to the target at this time.

To integrate Fast Clone with Data Replication, complete the fields described in the following table:

Field	Description	Default
Integrate Fast Clone with Data Replication	Select this option to enable Fast Clone to use a Data Replication configuration file for a data-cloning job.	Not selected
Data Replication configuration file	The path to the Data Replication XML configuration file relative to the DBSYNC_HOME directory. You can click the Browse button to the right of the field to browse to the XML configuration file. Ensure that the DBSYNC_HOME environment variable is defined.	No default
Data Replication schema xsd file	The path to the schema file, `config`.xsd, for the Data Replication configuration file relative to the DBSYNC_HOME directory. The XML structure of the Data Replication configuration file must be consistent with the schema in this schema file.	No default
Wait until all connected users exit	Indicates whether Fast Clone waits for all of the user sessions on the mapped source tables to end before beginning unload processing. If you clear this option, Fast Clone ends the active user sessions on the mapped tables during unload processing.	Selected
Update SCN after completion in the Data Replication configuration file	Indicates whether Fast Clone updates the SCN value in the Data Replication configuration file after loading data to the target to set a start point for change data replication. When you run a replication job with the configuration, Data Replication replicates only the changes that have SCN values larger than the one that Fast Clone set in the configuration file.	Selected
Data unload method	The unload method that Fast Clone uses to unload data with the specified Data Replication configuration file. Options are: Direct . Use the direct path unload method. Conventional path . Use the conventional path unload method.	Direct
