I was asked questions relating Replication in 10g.
As usual, I thought I should answer the question by using examples. This is following steps using the examples in the following links. I have chosen to use 2 Master sites instead of the 3 in the document.
Create Replication Site
Create a Master Group
Monitoring a Replication Environment
I used 10g Release 10.1 document because it was the first one I picked, but you can use the 10g Release 10.2 document.
Note: I have not hidden my passwords because it is my stand-alone test on a Laptop. I do not recommend exposing your passwords on the system.
This test as mentioned in the documentation assumes that the HR example schema has been created on both databases using the same script/structure. You will find the scripts under $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema.
This shows the results of the examples and should be read with the document in the above links.

Hints:
To test that the replication setup works, try DML (Insert, Delete, Update) on any of the tables added as replication objects.
When using the HR example schema. After an update on Job table, you might get ORA-00001 UNIQUE CONSTRAINT VIOLATED error on the Job History table during replication, thereby causing the replication to fail. This is because of a trigger on Job table is trying to make a change that a replication is doing on Job history table in EMREP1 (in my example). A quick fix is to disable the trigger in EMREP1 (not in TESTDB in my example).
