GoldenGate Introduction
 Oracle GoldenGate is a heterogeneous replication solution.
 GoldenGate (the company and the product) was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2009.
 Controversial replacement for Oracle Streams.
 Key Plays for Oracle GoldenGate.
Query Offloading Continuous Availability Real Time Data Integration
• Cost Reduction Move reads
to lower cost systems.
• Resource Utilization Use
physical standby for reads.
• Zero Downtime Migration &
Upgrade Migrate to Oracle
DB or upgrade to latest
application version with no
downtime
• Disaster Recovery & Data
Protection Create live
standby for failover, avoid
and repair block corruptions
• Data Distribution
Synchronize hub & spoke or
distributed systems.
• Operational Reporting
Quickly report on
transaction system data with
no source impact.
• Real Time Business
Intelligence Understand
current metrics in historical
context.

GoldenGate supports:
 Live standby database.
 Active-active high availability.
 Zero Downtime Upgrade and Migration.
 Query and Report offloading.
 System Integration / Data Synchronization.
 Real-time Data distribution.
 Real-time Data Warehousing.

New features in Oracle GoldenGate 12c
 Optimizations for Oracle Database 12c
Support for multitenant architecture and cloud-based real-time replication.
 Integrated Delivery for the Oracle Database
Leveraging lightweight streaming API built exclusively for Oracle GoldenGate for better
performance and scalability.
 Coordinated Delivery for Non-Oracle Databases
Orchestrates the high-speed apply processes and simplifies set-up and management.
 Integrated Capture Enhancements
Improved performance and streamlined DDL replication.
 Improved Ease of Use
Automatic discard file, enhanced debugging, and schema wildcarding.
 Tighter Security
Integration with the Oracle Credential Store and Oracle Wallet to store and retrieve
encrypted usernames and passwords.

New features in Oracle GoldenGate 12c
 Expanded Heterogeneity
Enhancements to existing supported platforms such as Oracle MySQL, Microsoft SQL
Server, Sybase, and IBM DB2.
 Enhanced High Availability
Integration with Oracle Data Guard and Fast-Start-Fail-Over (FSFO) for automated and
transparent failover of components.
 Expanded Oracle Application and Technology Support
Low downtime database platform migrations for E-Business Suite, Active-Active Oracle
ATG web commerce and seamless integration with Oracle Coherence “HotCache”.

Oracle Streams versus GoldenGate

GoldenGate Basic Architecture

GoldenGate Configuration Options

GoldenGate Classic Capture

GoldenGate Integrated Capture

GoldenGate Downstream Capture
 Real Time Downstream Mode

GoldenGate Downstream Capture
 Downstream Archive Log Mode

GoldenGate Bi-Directional Replication
 Also known as Active-Active Replication

GoldenGate Supported Data Types
 The following data types are supported for both classic and integrated capture
 NUMBER
 BINARY FLOAT
 BINARY DOUBLE
 CHAR
 VARCHAR2
 LONG
 NCHAR
 NVARCHAR2
 RAW
 LONG RAW
 DATE
 TIMESTAMP

GoldenGate Supported Data Types
 There is limited support in classic capture for the following data types:
 INTERVAL DAY
 INTERVAL YEAR
 TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
 TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE
 The following data types are not supported
 Abstract data types with scalar, LOBs, VARRAYs, nested tables , REFS
 ANYDATA
 ANYDATASET
 ANYTYPE
 BFILE
 MLSLABEL
 ORDDICOM
 TIMEZONE_ABBR
 URITYPE
 UROWID

GoldenGate Restrictions
 Neither capture method supports
 Database replay
 EXTERNAL tables
 Materialized views with ROWID
 Classic capture does not support
 IOT mapping tables
 Key compressed IOTs
 XMLType tables stored as XML Object Relational
 Distributed Transactions
 XA and PDML distributed transactions
 Capture from OLTP table compressed tables
 Capture from compressed tablespaces
 Exadata Hybrid Columnar Compression (EHCC)

GoldenGate Oracle-Reserved Schemas
 The following schema names are reserved by Oracle and should not be configured for
GoldenGate replication:
$AURORA EXFSYS REPADMIN
$JIS MDSYS SYS
$ORB ODM SYSMAN
$UNAUTHENTICATED ODM_MTR SYSTEM
$UTILITY OLAPSYS TRACESVR
ANONYMOUS ORDPLUGINS WKPROXY
AURORA ORDSYS WKSYS
CTXSYS OSE$HTTP$ADMIN WMSYS
DBSNMP OUTLN XDB
DMSYS PERFSTAT
DSSYS PUBLIC

GoldenGate RAC Support
 RAC support has some limitations in classic capture mode
 Extract can only run against one instance
 If instance fails,
 Manager must be stopped on failed node:
 Manager and extract must be started on a surviving node
 Failover can be configured in Oracle Grid Infrastructure
 Additional archive log switching may be required in archive log mode
 Before shutting down extract process
 Insert dummy record into a source table
 Switch log files on all nodes
 Additional configuration required to access ASM instance
 Shared storage for trails can be:
 OCFS
 ACFS
 DBFS
 No mention of NFS in the documentation
