DBMS_DEFER_SYS
procedures manage default replication node lists. This package is the system administrator interface to a replicated transactional deferred remote procedure call facility. Administrators and replication daemons can execute transactions queued for remote nodes using this facility, and administrators can control the nodes to which remote calls are destined.

Usage Notes
When you use the purge_method_quick
for the purge_method
parameter in the DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PURGE
function, deferred transactions and deferred procedure calls can remain in the DEFCALL
and DEFTRAN
data dictionary views after they have been successfully pushed. This behavior occurs in replication environments that have more than one database link and the push is executed to only one database link.
To purge the deferred transactions and deferred procedure calls, perform one of the following actions:
Use purge_method_precise
for the purge_method
parameter instead of the purge_method_quick
. Using purge_method_precise
is more expensive, but it ensures that the deferred transactions and procedure calls are purged after they have been successfully pushed.
Using purge_method_quick
for the purge_method
parameter, push the deferred transactions to all database links. The deferred transactions and deferred procedure calls are purged efficiently when the push to the last database link is successful.
This function forces a deferred remote procedure call (RPC) queue at your current master site or materialized view site to be pushed (propagated) to a remote site using either serial or parallel propagation.
Syntax
DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PUSH ( destination IN VARCHAR2, parallelism IN BINARY_INTEGER := 0, heap_size IN BINARY_INTEGER := 0, stop_on_error IN BOOLEAN := FALSE, write_trace IN BOOLEAN := FALSE, startup_seconds IN BINARY_INTEGER := 0, execution_seconds IN BINARY_INTEGER := seconds_infinity, delay_seconds IN BINARY_INTEGER := 0, transaction_count IN BINARY_INTEGER := transactions_infinity, delivery_order_limit IN NUMBER := delivery_order_infinity) RETURN BINARY_INTEGER;
Parameters
Table 14-21 PUSH Function Parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
destination |
The fully qualified database name of the master site or master materialized view site to which you are forwarding changes. |
parallelism |
0 specifies serial propagation. n > 1 specifies parallel propagation with n parallel processes. 1 specifies parallel propagation using only one parallel process. |
heap_size |
Maximum number of transactions to be examined simultaneously for parallel propagation scheduling. Oracle automatically calculates the default setting for optimal performance. Note: Do not set the parameter unless so directed by Oracle Support Services. |
stop_on_error |
The default, Note: If |
write_trace |
When set to |
startup_seconds |
Maximum number of seconds to wait for a previous push to the same destination. |
execution_seconds |
If > 0, then stop push cleanly after the specified number of seconds of real time. If The |
delay_seconds |
Do not return before the specified number of seconds have elapsed, even if the queue is empty. Useful for reducing execution overhead if |

Returns
Table 14-22 PUSH Function Returns
Value | Description |
---|---|
result_ok |
OK, terminated after |
result_startup_seconds |
Terminated by lock timeout while starting. |
result_execution_seconds |
Terminated by exceeding |
result_transaction_count |
Terminated by exceeding |
result_delivery_order_limit |
Terminated by exceeding |
result_errors |
Terminated after errors. |
result_push_disabled |
Push was disabled internally. Typically, this return value means that propagation to the destination was set to disabled internally by Oracle for propagation synchronization when adding a new master site to a master group without quiescing the master group. Oracle will enable propagation automatically at a later time. |
result_split_del_order_limit |
Terminated after failing to acquire the enqueue in exclusive mode. If you receive this return code, then retry the push. If the problem persists, then contact Oracle Support Services. |
Exceptions

To disable or enable propagation of the deferred transaction queue from the current site to a specified destination site. If the disabled parameter is TRUE
, then the procedure disables propagation to the specified destination and future invocations of PUSH
do not push the deferred remote procedure call (RPC) queue. SET_DISABLED
eventually affects a session already pushing the queue to the specified destination, but does not affect sessions appending to the queue with DBMS_DEFER
.
If the disabled parameter is FALSE
, then the procedure enables propagation to the specified destination and, although this does not push the queue, it permits future invocations of PUSH
to push the queue to the specified destination. Whether the disabled parameter is TRUE
or FALSE
, a COMMIT
is required for the setting to take effect in other sessions.
