Oracle Advanced Replication

To all,

I have a 5-way multi-master replication set up on Oracle 817 and Sun Solaris 2.7.

In the replication group, we would like to add a new column to a replicated table.

Not only that, we would like to add this new column to the primary key of this replicated table.

What are the steps that I would need to do?

I seems to remember that if we add any new columns in the replicated object, we would need to

1) quieced the whole environment
2) drop this object from the replication group
3) add the new column in the MDS as well as all other master sites
4) add this table back to the replication group
5) generate replication support
6) resume replication again

Would some replication expert tell me if I am correct or not? (I did try to look in the doc, but I can't find it any where)

Thanks for your help!

Winnie
