DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN: Setting Up More Administrator Accounts

Along with DBMS_REPCAT_AUTH, use the DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN package to create administrator accounts for replication. This section explains how to do so.

Getting Started with DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN

The DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN package is created when the Oracle database is installed. The dbmsrepc.sql script (found in the built-in packages source directory, as described in Chapter 1) contains the source code for this package’s specification. This script is called by catrep.sql, which must be run to install the advanced replication packages. The wrapped sql script prvtrepc.sql creates the public synonym DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN. No EXECUTE privileges are granted on DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN; only the owner (SYS) and those with the EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE system privilege may execute the package.
