All,

I'm trying to set up a 9.0.1 instance as a replicant of a 8.1.7 instance. When I set the compatability parameter to 8.1.7 in the 9i pfile, I am getting ORA-402:

00402, 00000, "database changes by release %s cannot be used by release %s"

// *Cause:  Changes have been made to the database that require a newer
//          software release or that violate the compatibility parameters.
// *Action: Use a version of the software that can understand the changes or
//          relax the compatibility requirements in the init file.

Anybody got any workarounds or is this a "you have to set up the replication with everybody on 8i and then look at the upgrade with the updates suspended"
type of thing. If it is, how will the final synchronization take place when the upgraded instance is running 9i and the old master is 8i?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John
