The Fast Clone Server is an optional add-on component that you can purchase to enable network communication across systems in a distributed Fast Clone topology. These systems can include the Fast Clone Console and Fast Clone instances on source and target database systems.
The Fast Clone Server runs as a Windows service or as a daemon on Linux or UNIX.
Use the Fast Clone Server to initiate unloads of Oracle data and metadata on a remote system or to transmit the output files to the target system. For example, use the Fast Clone Server to retrieve Oracle data that was unloaded by scheduled Fast Clone unload operations on separate Oracle systems and then make that data available to another Fast Clone instance for loading to the target database.
