TITLE:    Error in Rdb Replication Option V7 Installation Guide

PRODUCT:  Rdb Replication Option V7

OP/SYS:   OpenVMS AXP & VAX

SOURCE:   Oracle Worldwide Customer Support


SYMPTOM: The startup example on page 3-9 of Rdb Replication Option (RRO)
         Installation Guide is wrong.	

On page 3-9 of Replication Option for Rdb Installation Guide the startup
example is wrong.  The example works for Replication Option pre V7.0, but this
is the V7 doc and the example will not work as described.  What happens if you
run the example as depicted is that the user is prompted for additional
parameter values.  

You could expand on the example by passing null parameters
for P3 to P5 and then pass "NOINQUIRE" as P6 and then the example will be
accurate for Rdb Replication configurations which use Rdb as the transfer
monitor database and the version of Rdb is the standard version on the system.

It would probably be a good idea to include a few examples of startup commands
based on different configurations.  I can think of three good examples:

1. Starting RRO using a default Rdb standard version as the transfer db

$ @sys$startup:ddal$start_tr_mon -
"SYS$COMMON:[RROUSER70.DDD]" "SYS$COMMON:[RROUSER70.DDD]" "" "" "" "NOINQUIRE"

2. Starting RRO using a non-standard Rdb version as the transfer db

$ @sys$startup:ddal$start_tr_mon -
"SYS$COMMON:[RROUSER70.DDD]" "SYS$COMMON:[RROUSER70.DDD]" "RDB=70" -
"" "DBS400$DKA500:[RROUSER70]DDD_ERRORS.LOG" "NOINQUIRE"

  (In example 2 Rdb V7.0 is not the standard version of Rdb)

3. Starting RRO using an Oracle7 transfer database with Rdb Transparent 
   Gateway for Oracle

$ @sys$startup:ddal$start_tr_mon -
"/type=oracle/user=scott/pass=tiger/node=2:" -
"SYS$SYSTEM:DDAL$nodename_TR_MON.LOG" "ORACLE=7.3.1" "" "" "NOINQUIRE"

See the Rdb Distributed Option V7 Product Family Users Guide for more 
information on Oracle gateway attach parameters.
