Managing Scheduled Links

A scheduled link determines how a master site propagates its deferred transaction queue to another master site, or how a materialized view site with updatable materialized views propagates its deferred transaction queue to its master site. A scheduled link is a database link with configurable scheduling information. When you create a scheduled link, Oracle creates a job in the local job queue to push the deferred transaction queue to another site in the system. When Oracle propagates deferred transactions to a remote master site, it does so within the security context of the replication propagator.

Among other things, the various replication wizards prepare each multimaster or materialized view site environment with the necessary scheduled links and help you manage scheduled links.

To access scheduled links, follow the steps below:

1. In Enterprise Manager, connect to the Database Instance Home page as the replication administrator.

2. Click Data Movement.

3. Under the Advanced Replication section, click Manage.

   The Administration Overview page appears.

4. Under General, click the number link next to Scheduled Links to open the Scheduled Links page.
