I'll add one to the list:
nnn) How much downtime and DBA time is required when the Shareplex replication queues
get corrupted and you have to rebuild your entire replicated database? (I only add
that as I've got to do it tomorrow morning).

I know a little of their product... but I think you should be well aware of the
limitations before attempting to implement it. Here are a couple of questions to ask
the technical folks over there...
1) What happens when someone applies an Oracle Financials patch to the system. What
is the procedure?
2) Do you have anyone else running Financials 11i that you could talk to as a
reference?
3) Do they support IOT's? (Which Financials has a lot of)
4) How much downtime is normally associated with something like adding a new table or
dropping one from replication?

We are not running 9i but 8.1.7.4, sorry for not including that earlier. We are
rolling out to our international offices and we basically have offices in every time
zone. I'm looking at SharePlex for HA, reporting use, and potentially migrating from
HP to Linux. They will be on Linux next month.

Nelson,
SharePlex does the same basic thing that Oracle does for the logical standby, as a
matter of fact if your running 9i why not use that instead of Quests's pricey tool? I
don't believe there is any additional cost to using logical standby over the second
server license that your going to have to pay anyway.

Hello,
Quest is trying to sell us a product named SharePlex. It sounds very attractive, but
then sales people are supposed to be good at that. We are a mid sized company, about
2.2 billion per year, running Financials 11.5.7. We are interested in this for HA and
for reporting instance use.
<rant>
We use Cognos as our query tool and the owners of this product tells me that we can't
tune the SQL it emits. It makes pretty poor choices, which is not surprising for a
gooey, sticky tool designed for end users. It is sort of pretty and if you can drool
you too can generate cross products. Anyway , I'd like to get them off the production
box.
<rant/>
Does SharePlex allow you to stay close to the production instance in time? Does the
store and forward work well? Do you love it? Hate it? Anything you'd like to say
about this product I'd like to hear
Thanks in advance
