Question

Can anyone be help me regarding Oracle Streams 9i
Oracle Version: 9.2.0.5.0
Initial parameters:

database is in archivelog;
I executed the following SQL statements:

END;
CONNECT strmadmin/strmadminpw@db1
BEGIN
DBMS_CAPTURE_ADM.START_CAPTURE(
capture_name => 'capture_simp');
END;
Here is my problem:
After i configured it the streams still cannot replicate. And when I checked the EM GUI for streams monitoring it displays a broken database link.
Also it says that the database link is not active.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks.

I don't know what Datacomp is, but you should be able
to connect to any non-Oracle database if there is
an ODBC driver for it. You would use Generic
Heterogeneous Services to do this. See the following
link to the documentation for details:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96544/gencon.htm#1656
There are also several articles on the Net. Do a google
search on oracle generic heterogeneous services /
connectivity.
Hope this helps.
