I recently asked a similar question and got no response. Evidently we are the only two. Our experience with a RAC source and single instance target is not good. Turns out that there is a bug (undocumented negative feature) that prevents RAC sources from being captured at the target. Oracle is working on it...

So far, what we can see is : - it needs Oracle JVM in the DB (although it's based on Streams and Logminer) - it doesn't support Lobs columns Any other pitfalls ?
