Name

DBMS_REPCAT.REFRESH_SNAPSHOT_REPGROUP

Synopsis

The REFRESH_SNAPSHOT_REPGROUP procedure refreshes the snapshot replication group manually. Specifications differ for Oracle7 and Oracle8 as follows.

Oracle7 specification:

PROCEDURE DBMS_REPCAT.REFRESH_SNAPSHOT_REPGROUP
   (gname IN VARCHAR2,
    drop_missing_contents IN BOOLEAN := FALSE,
    refresh_snapshots IN BOOLEAN := FALSE,
    refresh_other_objects IN BOOLEAN := FALSE,
    execute_as_user IN BOOLEAN:= FALSE);

Oracle8 specification:

PROCEDURE DBMS_REPCAT.REFRESH_SNAPSHOT_REPGROUP
   (gname IN VARCHAR2,
    drop_missing_contents IN BOOLEAN := FALSE,
    refresh_other_objects IN BOOLEAN := FALSE )

The procedure can optionally drop objects that are no longer in the group and/or refresh the snapshots and other objects.

The REFRESH_SNAPSHOT_REPGROUP procedure replaces the REFRESH_SNAPSHOT_REPSCHEMA procedure. Although REFRESH_SNAPSHOT_REPSCHEMA still exists (as of Oracle 7.3.3), do not use it; it does not exist in Oracle 8.0.3.
