Yup, exactly what I had concluded previously until I spoke to our Oracle guys.

I will let you know the outcome.

It may be different in oracle (I FOR SURE am not an oracle guy) But
imagine this change. Change on remote server. Change sent to
master/publisher, publisher verifies change is ok/no conflict, commits
change, then pushes change out to all other partners and change is
committed on the first server.

Now in my last environment with this running we are talking 2 seconds of
latency generally. At the highest 3. sometimes faster. All depends
right?

Anyway there can be lag. I don't know what to really tell ya, its just
what they support. Also remember that a best practice in replicated
environments is to publish the CMC from Servers communicating with the
publisher. This ensures smooth replication. Changes made at the remote
site to the DS then are rarer.

Ron, 

Our Oracle DBA said that two-phase commit with synchronous transactions,
requires that the database which you are updating will not commit the
update
until it has ensured that the transaction has been committed on all
other
replication partners first.  With four replication partners over a WAN,
the
overall latency could be something like 5-10 secs for an update.

I was under the impression that the two phase commit process meant that
the
database you are updating would simply send update to the publisher
(master)
which would commit immediately, thus allowing the sending database to
commit,
and the publisher database would then replicate that change to the other
replication partners?

Sorry, have done oracle, but not replicated. Don't worry the heavy SQL
dba's say the same thing about Citrix's recommendations. I got merge
replication to work for SQL with FR3 on like 20 servers in the lab.
Worked real well. But Citrix wont support it. Their stance is "It will
corrupt your data store". Which really means "we have a way to do it
already, even if MS supports a newer way of doing it". For an ISV they
spend money on development and testing where they need to (new features)
to get more bang for their buck.

Hi list,

I approached our Oracle DBA's with the Citrix recommendations for data
store
replication.  

Their initial response was not positive.  Basically, they view the
replication
recommendation as out of date and is much better implemented with async
transactions and some other components that escape me.

I would be very interested to hear from anyone that has implemented a
replicated data store on Oracle.

thanks in advance, Brian
