Let's now step through the necessary tasks required to perform the initial load using the File to Replicat instantiation method. For small and simple data synchronization with no transformations, this is the preferred solution.
This example assumes that the target tables are truncated and are identical in structure to the source tables. The configuration includes the following tasks:
The Initial load: This specifies the Direct Load data synchronization
The one-way replication: Change data capture and delivery
The following system schematic diagram illustrates the architecture and naming convention used in this chapter's examples:
