Oracle Streams Setup between two database

Overview
Database Version: 10.1.0.5.0
Windows XP sp2

Database Name and TNS name

DB1, db1 (source)
DB2, db2 (target)

Set up below parameters on both databases (db1, db2)

1. Enable ARCHIVELOG MODE on both database

2 (grantee => 'strmadmin',
3 grant_privileges => true);
4 end;
5/
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> grant select_catalog_role, select any dictionary to strmadmin;

Grant succeeded.

Target Database: DB2

4 end;
5/
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

5. Setup Source and Destination queues

Source Database: DB1
SQL> conn strmadmin/strmadmin@db1
Connected.
SQL> EXEC DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE();
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Target Database: DB2

SQL> conn strmadmin/strmadmin@db2
Connected.
SQL> EXEC DBMS_STREAMS_ADM.SET_UP_QUEUE();
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

6. Setup Schema for streams

Schema: SCOTT
Table: Taj
NOTE: Unlock scott schema because in 10g scott schema is locked by default
Source Database: DB1
SQL> conn sys@db1 as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> alter user scott account unlock identified by tiger;
User altered.
SQL> conn scott/tiger@db1
Connected.
SQL> create table TAJ ( no number primary key,name varchar2(20),ddate
date);
Table created.

Target Database: DB2

SQL> conn sys@db2 as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> alter user scott account unlock identified by tiger;
User altered.
SQL> conn scott/tiger@db2
Connected.
SQL> create table TAJ ( no number primary key,name varchar2(20),ddate
date);
Table created.

7. Setup Supplemental logging at the source database

Source Database: DB1
SQL> conn scott/tiger@db1
Connected.
SQL> alter table taj
2 add supplemental log data (primary key,unique) columns;
Table altered.

8. Configure capture process at the source database

Source Database: DB1
SQL> conn strmadmin/strmadmin@db1
Connected.
SQL> begin dbms_streams_adm.add_table_rules
2 ( table_name => 'scott.taj',

6 include_dml => true,
7 include_ddl => true,
8 source_database => 'DB1',
9 inclusion_rule => true);
10 end;
11 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

10. Set the instantiation system change number (SCN)

2 source_scn number;
3 begin
4 source_scn := dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number();

8 instantiation_scn => source_scn);
9 end;
10 /
