Here I am using one master site called “US” and one materialized view site called “MV01”
The general architecture for Advanced Replication is
The above architecture only helps to configure “Advanced Replication”
Replication environment primary condition:
Primary Keys and Replicated Tables
If possible, each replicated table should have a primary key. Where a primary key is not possible, each replicated table must have a set of columns that can be used as a unique identifier for each row of the table. If the tables that you plan to use in your replication environment do not have a primary key or a set of unique columns, then alter these tables accordingly. In addition, if you plan to create any primary key materialized views based on a master table or master materialized view, then that master must have a primary key.
Foreign Keys and Replicated Tables
When replicating tables with foreign key referential constraints, Oracle recommends that you always index foreign key columns and replicate these indexes, unless no updates and deletes are allowed in the parent table. Indexes are not replicated automatically. To replicate an index, add it to the master group containing its table using either the Replication Management tool or the CREATE_MASTER_REPOBJECT procedure in the DBMS_REPCAT package.
Data types:
· VARCHAR2
· NVARCHAR2
· NUMBER
· DATE
· TIMESTAMP
· TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
· TIMESTAMP LOCAL TIME ZONE
· INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
· INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND
· RAW
· ROWID
· CHAR
· NCHAR
· User-defined datatypes
Oracle also supports the replication of tables and materialized views with columns that use the following large object types:
· Binary LOB (BLOB)
· Character LOB (CLOB)
· National character LOB (NCLOB)
The deferred and synchronous remote procedure call mechanism used for multimaster replication propagates only the piece-wise changes to the supported LOB datatypes when piece-wise updates and appends are applied to these LOB columns. Also, you cannot reference LOB columns in a WHERE clause of a materialized view's defining query.
You can replicate tables and materialized views that use user-defined types, including column objects, object tables, REFs, varrays, and nested tables.
Oracle does not support the replication of columns that use the LONG and LONG RAW datatypes. You should convert LONG datatypes to LOBs.
Oracle also does not support the replication of external or file-based LOBs (BFILEs). Attempts to configure tables containing columns of this datatype as master tables return an error message.
Oracle also does not support the replication of UROWID columns in master tables or updatable materialized views. However, UROWID columns are allowed in read-only materialized views.
Initialization Parameters
Configure the bellow parameter in Master and Materialized view sites.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET GLOBAL_NAMES=TRUE SCOPE=SPFILE;
System altered.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET JOB_QUEUE_PROCESSES=10 SCOPE=SPFILE;
System altered.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS=20 SCOPE=SPFILE;
System altered.
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET PARALLEL_MIN_SERVERS=0 SCOPE=SPFILE;
System altered.
Net Configuration:
Before you start replication you must configure master and replication site.

Monitoring Replication:
DBA_REPQUESTS – It’s administration purpose, you can able to find out administration error, no of deferred transaction etc.
DBA_REPCATLOG – Contains the interim status of any asynchronous administrative requests and any error messages generated at each master site
DBA_REPGROUP - Find out master group in your master site.
DBA_REPOBJECT – Find out objects in mater group
DEFERROR - It’s transaction error msg.
DEFTRANDEST - Find out total number transaction.
