765.0. "ror 7 required rdb versions" by BROKE::BITHER () Wed Apr 16 1997 15:00

Write article on ROR 7 and rdb requirements.  (Add ror 6.* works with
rdb..., and vdd *.* works with rdb...,etc.) See note 264 in data dist notes.


The minimum supported version of the Replication Option, today, is 6.0-11.  If
the customer were to install ROR 7.0, it would need either Rdb 6.1 or 7.0 on
the same system or cluster.  If the source database is to be REPLICATED, then
the source has to also be at Rdb 6.1 or 7.0 and located on the same system or
cluster as ROR is installed.  Sources which are used in EXTRACTION transfers
can be local or remote, and there's no requirement on the Rdb version.  Target
databases can be local or remote and there's no requirement on the Rdb version.

TITLE:      Rdb Requirements for Replication Option for Rdb


PRODUCT:    Replication Option 6.0, 7.0

OP/SYS:     OpenVMS VAX, OpenVMS AXP

SOURCE:     Oracle Worldwide Customer Support


QUESTION:

What are the Rdb requirements for Replication Option for Rdb (ROR)?


ANSWER:

Rdb requirements for Replication Option refer to what version of Rdb is
needed on the system or cluster where Replication Option is installed.

Additionally, in the case of Replication transfers, Rdb requirements for
Replication Option refer to the version of the source database.  The source
database must exist on the same machine or cluster as the ROR installation.

Sources which are used in extraction transfers can be local or remote, and
there is no requirement on the Rdb version.  Target databases can be local or
remote and there is no requirement on the Rdb version.

Replication Option 7.0 
----------------------
  Rdb 6.1 or 7.0 must be installed on the same system or cluster as
  ROR 7.0.  Additionally, if the source database is to be replicated
  (used in a replication transfer) the source database also has to be at
  Rdb 6.1 or 7.0.

Replication Option 6.0
----------------------
  Rdb 6.0 must be installed on the same system or cluster as ROR 6.0.  
  Additionally, if the source database is to be replicated (used in a 
  replication transfer) the source database also has to be at Rdb 6.0.

NOTE:  The minimum supported version of Replication Option today is 6.0-11.
