How did you instantiate the table? Data Pump? You did use 'DBMS_DATAPUMP.SET_PARAMETER(handle1, 'FLASHBACK_SCN', ############);'? It sounds like the target didn't create the tables properly for some reason. I have had similar problems in the past and found dropping the config and rebuilding everything was necessary to get past it. _____ From: Fedock, John (KAM.RIC) [mailto:John.Fedock@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 1:41 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Oracle streams Thanks for the quick responses. I don't expect anyone to spend a great amount of time helping me, but if you have a quick answer to these, I would appreciate it. 1. The state of the capture is "Capturing changes" - which is good. When I update my test tables, where are the changes stored? I assume it is my streams_queue_table table, but that is empty. 2. On the target database, I see 2 error messages that say - ORA-26687: no instantiation SCN provided for "CONT"."xxxx" in source database "YYYYYY". I did instantiate the object. No doubt about it. I am not sure why this is here. _____ From: Weatherman, John [mailto:John.Weatherman@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 11:54 AM To: Fedock, John (KAM.RIC); oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Oracle streams John, What are you doing where now? There are a LOT of ways to set this up. Can you provide a test script? Do you have schema and object rules (these can conflict)? Have you used grid control to set up a development system? The save scripts option isn't optimal, but gives a good starting point. Have you opened a SR with Oracle? I actually found the Streams group to be fairly good. As it is, this question is too vague to help, other than just saying RTFM.

This would be on 10g, HP-UX machines. I have attempted a few test cases and have not been able to get the data to move over. I am still not grasping creating the capture, adding table rules, creating apply process, instantiating the scn, etc. Does anyone have a checklist on which task to do on what server (source vs destination)? I have been looking at metalink note 298877.1 and the session 249 from collaborate 2007. Thanks all, John Fedock "K" Line America, ISD Department
