Replication Management API

The replication management API is a set of PL/SQL packages that encapsulate procedures and functions that you can use to configure an Oracle replication environment. The replication management API is a command-line alternative to Oracle Enterprise Manager. In fact, Oracle Enterprise Manager uses the procedures and functions of the replication management API to perform its work. For example, when you use Oracle Enterprise Manager to create a new master group, the tool completes the task by making a call to the CREATE_MASTER_REPGROUP procedure in the DBMS_REPCAT package. The replication management API makes it easy for you to create custom scripts to manage your replication environment.
