DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN: Setting Up Administrative Accounts
The first step in creating an advanced replication environment is to create administrative and end user accounts. The DBMS_REPCAT_AUTH and DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN packages contain programs that grant and revoke the privileges required in such an environment.
How the Package Is Used
The replication administration account or a DBA account uses the procedures in DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN to grant or revoke the specified privileges.
Installation and Access
The DBMS_REPCAT_ADMIN package iscreated when the Oracle database is installed. The
dbmsrepc.sqlscript (found in the built-in packages source
directory) 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.sqlcreates 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.
