ADD_REPLICATION

This procedure adds the specified replication server configuration to the specified protection policy. After the operation succeeds, the Recovery Appliance replicates backups of databases protected by this policy to the downstream Recovery Appliance.

See CREATE_REPLICATION_SERVER.

Syntax

PROCEDURE add_replication_server (
   replication_server_name IN VARCHAR2,
   protection_policy_name IN VARCHAR2
   skip_initial_replication IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
   read_only IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
   request_only IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE
   copyall_backups IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
   comments IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL);

Parameters

Table 22-5 ADD_REPLICATION_SERVER Parameters

Parameter	Description
`replication_server_name`	The name of the replication server configuration to associate with the protection policy.
`protection_policy_name`	The name of the protection policy to associate with the replication server configuration.
`skip_initial_replication`	If set to `TRUE`, initial replication is skipped.
`read_only`	The setting that controls replication behavior to a downstream Recovery Appliance. If `TRUE`, then the Recovery Appliance treats the downstream replication server as a read only device. Specifically, backups are not replicated to the downstream replication server. Backups that exist on the downstream are restorable through the upstream Recovery Appliance. If `FALSE` or not specified, then the Recovery Appliance does the normal initial replication.
`request_only`	When adding a replication server to a protection polity with `request_only` set to `TRUE`, backups are not replicated to the downstream replication server. At startup time of the local Recovery Appliance, a calculation is made to determine which backups exist on the remote Recover Appliance and not locally. Those backups that exist remotely are requested to be sent from the downstream to the local Recovery Appliance. This feature requires that the two Recovery Appliances are paired with each other. If `FALSE` or not specified, the Recovery Appliance does normal replication.
`copyall_backups`	When adding a replication server to a protection policy with `copyall_backups` set to `TRUE`, all backups for each of the databases are chosen for initial replication to the downstream Recovery Appliance. If set to `FALSE` the most recent level 0 including archivelogs and control files are replicated.
`comments`	Optional user supplied comment describing reason for executing this command.
