12.6.7 Starting a Workload Replay

Before starting a workload replay, you must first:

Preprocess the captured workload, as described in "Preprocessing a Database Workload Using APIs"
Initialize the replay data, as described in "Initializing Replay Data"
Specify the replay options, as described in "Setting Workload Replay Options"
Start the replay clients, as described in "Starting Replay Clients"

Note:

Once a workload replay is started, new replay clients will not be able to connect to the database. Only replay clients that were started before the START_REPLAY procedure is executed will be used to replay the captured workload.

To start a workload replay:

Use the START_REPLAY procedure:

BEGIN
  DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPLAY.START_REPLAY ();
END;
