Release Notes

23 Migrating an Oracle Database to Dell EMC SC Series Storage | CML1001
3.7.10 Oracle Streams Replication
Oracle Streams has been deprecated in Oracle 12c, though it is still available in 11g. Oracle positions
GoldenGate as its successor. It is designed to share information by capturing and queuing messages in one
database, propagating them to another database, and then consuming them in the target database. Data can
also be transformed as part of the workflow. Similar to GoldenGate, the replication is continuous and
therefore application downtime is minimal to switch over the application and users.
For more information on Oracle Streams, refer to Master note for Streams Setup and Administration (Doc ID
789445.1) and Streams Replication Administrator’s Guide.
