GoldenGate Basic Architecture

8.
Goldengate Replication & component
GoldenGate replication consists of three basic utilities: “extract”,”replicat” and
“data pump”. In addition all three of these utilities access “trail files”, which are
flat files that contain formatted GoldenGate data.
An extract group mines a database’s redo logs; and writes information about
the changes it find into trail files. Extract is functionally similar to the Streams
“capture” process.
A replicat group reads information from trail files; and then writes those
changes into database tables. Replicat is functionally similar to the Streams
“apply” process.
A data pump group copies information between trail files. Data is functionally
similar to Streams “propagate” process.

20.
Goldengatetrailfile
Each record in the Trail file contains the following information:
· The operation type, such as an insert, update, or delete
· The transaction indicator (TransInd): 00 beginning, 01 middle, 02 end or 03
whole of transaction
· The before or after indicator (BeforeAfter) for update operations
· The commit timestamp
· The time that the change was written to the GoldenGate file
· The type of database operation
· The length of the record
· The Relative Byte Address (RBA) within the GoldenGate file

Supplemental Logging
– Required at the database level (Minimum Level)
• ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA;
• Minimal Supplemental Logging
“logs the minimal amount of information needed for LogMiner to identify, group, and merge the redo
operations associated with DML changes”
– Identification key logging (PK, UK, FK)
• Table Level
• Database Level
• Method
– SQL e.g. ALTER TABLE <> ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA …
– GoldenGate e.g. ADD TRANDATA <Table Name>

1. ADDTRANDATA on source for new object.
2. Monitor replicated object on target and add
SL manually before any DML change

40.
Add trandata
• For Oracle, ADD TRANDATA by default enables table-level supplemental logging. The supplemental log
group includes one of the following sets of columns, in the listed order of priority, depending on what is
defined on the table:
1. Primary key
2. First unique key alphanumerically with no virtual columns, no UDTs, no functionbased
columns, and no nullable columns
3. First unique key alphanumerically with no virtual columns, no UDTs, or no functionbased
columns, but can include nullable columns
4. If none of the preceding key types exist (even though there might be other types of keys
defined on the table) Oracle GoldenGate constructs a pseudo key of all columns that
the database allows to be used in a unique key, excluding virtual columns, UDTs,
function-based columns, and any columns that are explicitly excluded from the Oracle
GoldenGate configuration.
• The command issues an ALTER TABLE command with an ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA clause thatis
appropriate for the type of unique constraint (or lack of one) that is defined for the table.
• If you are using the Oracle GoldenGate DDL replication feature, use the ADD SCHEMATRANDATA
command to log the required supplemental data. It is possible to use ADD
TRANDATA when DDL support is enabled, but only if you can guarantee one of the following:
● You can stop DML activity on any and all tables before users or applications perform DDL on them.
● You cannot stop DML activity before the DDL occurs, but you can guarantee that:

Logdump utility
• Logdump (The Oracle GoldenGate Log File Dump Utility) is a useful Oracle GoldenGate utility that
enables you to search for, filter, view, and save data that is stored in a GoldenGate trail or extract
file. The following table summarizes the useful commands of logdump.

50.
Logdump continue
• 1. Find out which local (exttrail) and remote trail (rmttrail) files the data pump is reading and writing to.
GGSCI> info <pump>, detail
2. In Logdump, issue the following series of commands to open the remote trail and find the last record.
Logdump> open <trail file from step 1>
Logdump> ghdr on
Logdump> count
Logdump> skip (<total count>-1)
Logdump> n (for next)
3. Write down the Table name, AuditPos and AuditRBA of the last record. (Do not be confused by the Logdump field names: AuditRBA
shows the Oracle redo log sequence number, and AuditPos shows the relative byte address of the record.)
• The following example shows that the operation was captured from Oracle's redo log sequence number 1941 at RBA 1965756.

Logdump continue
• 4. In Logdump, issue the following series of commands to open the local trail file and find the record that corresponds to the one you found
in Step 2.
Logdump>open <exttrail file>
• Logdump>ghdr on
Logdump>filter include AuditRBA <number>
Logdump>filter include filename <table_name>
Logdump>filter match all
Logdump>n
• Note: The Logdump filter command to search for a record's redo RBA is "AuditRBA", even though the trail record's header calls it
"AuditPos". This is an anomaly of the Logdump program.
•
5. Verify that the operation is from the same Oracle redo log sequence number as the one you recorded in step 3. (AuditRBA as shown in
the trail header), as there is no way to filter for this in Logdump.

Filtering suppressed 3289 records
6. Compare the output of the record (data part) from the remote trail with that of the record from the local trail, and make sure it is the
same. This shows they are the same data record.

Logdump continue
• 7. In Logdump, issue the following commands to clear the filter and find the next record in the local trail after the one found in Step
4. Logdump searches based on the GoldenGate record's RBA within the trail file (the "extrba"). Write down the GoldenGate RBA. In
the following example, it would be 7309910.

8. In GGSCI, alter the data pump to start processing at the trail sequence number (extseqno) and relative byte address (extrba) noted
in Step 7. The trail sequence number is the local trail that you opened in Logdump in step 4.
GGSCI> alter extract <pump>, extseqno <trail sequence no>, extrba <trail rba>
For the previous example (assuming the trail sequence number is 000003), the syntax would be:
alter extract pmpsbl, extseqno 3, extrba 7309910
9. Start the data pump.

Logdump other command
• Search for Timestamp in Trail File
• Logdump 6 >sfts 2013-08-04 <–searches for the timestamp ‘2013-08-04’
• >filter include filename FIN_AUDIT.FIN_GL_ATTR
Which will filter out all records that do not contain the table name
specified and narrow down the set of records that subsequent commands
will operate on until a “>filter clear” is issued
• >pos FIRST
Which will go to the first record in the file
• >pos <rba>
Which will go to a specific rba in the trail file
• >log to <filename>.txt

54.
Filtering Records
You can do some pretty fancy stuff with LOGDUMP filtering. A whole suite of commands are set aside for
this. We can filter on just about anything that exists in the Trail file, such as process name, RBA, record
length, record type, even a string!
The following example shows the required syntax to filter on DELETE operations. Note that
LOGDUMP reports how many records have been excluded by the filter.
Logdump 52 >filter include iotype delete
Logdump 53 >n

Check Goldengate Replication Performance
• GGSCI > Stats <parameter_name> totalsonly *
• GGSCI > lag <parameter_name>
• GGSCI > send <pump> gettcpstats
• GGSCI > send <parameter_name> showch
• GGSCI> STATS <parameter_name> totalsonly *.*
• Both database should be in sync.
• Assumetargetdefinition or sourcedefinition should be used in replicate
parameter file.
• All conversion should be performed in replicate side.
Ideal condition for Replication

58.
Cons of Replication
• DDL (data definition language) replication is still to mature and can be an issue.
Supplemental logging causes extra redo log generation in the log storage. Licensing
cost is higher as compared to other replication products. Configuration of Golden
Gate in HA (High Availability) mode needs setup of extra VIPs which can be
challenging in a RAC environment.
• Integration of Golden Gate with monitoring tools like OEM (Oracle Enterprise
Manager) is still not available and most DBAs monitor this with custom scripts.
• File system dependent
• „Application synchronization must be designed in the application
Pros of Replication
•Storage hardware independent
•One solution for all applications/data on a server
•Failover/failback may be integrated and automated
•Read access for second copy,supporting horizontal scaling
•Low cost for software
•Easy to setup
•Easy to manage, especially in resuming and/or recovery of activities
•speed (faster than Streams)

59.
Batchsql
Why Batchsql
In default mode the Replicat process will apply SQL to the target database, one statement at a time. This
often causes a performance bottleneck where the Replicat process cannot apply the changes quickly
enough, compared to the rate at which the Extract process delivers the data. Despite configuring additional
Replicat processes, performance may still be a problem
Use of Batchsql
GoldenGate has addressed this issue through the use of the BATCHSQL Replicat configuration parameter.
As the name implies, BATCHSQL organizes similar SQLs into batches and applies them all at once. The
batches are assembled into arrays in a memory queue on the target database server, ready to be applied.
Similar SQL statements would be those that perform a specific operation type (insert, update, or delete)
against the same target table, having the same column list. For example, multiple inserts into table A
would be in a different batch from inserts into table B, as would updates on table A or B. Furthermore,
referential constraints are considered by GoldenGate where dependant transactions in different batches
are executed first, depicting the order in which batches are executed. Despite the referential integrity
constraints, BATCHSQL can increase Replicat performance significantly.

Example of batchsql performance
• GoldenGate replicat performance
• GGSCI> stats r_xxxx TOTALSONLY * REPORTRATE sec
• You get the detailed statistics of operations per second since the start of the process, since the beginning of the day and last hour for all
tables replicated by that process. For instance:
• *** Hourly statistics since 2012-04-16 13:00:00 ***
• Total inserts/second: 1397.76
• Total updates/second: 1307.46
• Total deletes/second: 991.50
• Total discards/second: 0.00
• Total operations/second: 3696.71
• So here we can see it is doing a bit more than 3500 operations per second, divided quite evenly between inserts, updates and deletes. As
usually the GoldenGate is used for realtime replication and there are no big operations, the client does not use performance related
parameters. But this time I decided to play with them. After adding both: BATCHSQL and INSERTAPPEND to the parameter file of the
replicat process, the results were the following (after more than 10 minutes running) and performance is still increasing:
• *** Hourly statistics since 2012-04-16 13:43:17 ***
• Total inserts/second: 2174.92
• Total updates/second: 2540.20
• Total deletes/second: 1636.16
• Total discards/second: 0.00
• Total operations/second: 6351.28
• We see the performance increased by 90% ! I got interested to see if the BATCHSQL parameter only by itself could make the difference. So
I removed the INSERTAPPEND parameter (which only influences the inserts anyway). Here are the results after more than 10 minutes.
• *** Hourly statistics since 2012-04-16 14:00:00 ***
• Total inserts/second: 2402.21
• Total updates/second: 2185.24
• Total deletes/second: 1742.43
• Total discards/second: 0.00
• Total operations/second: 6329.88
• Yep, seems the system of my client in certain situations benefits mostly of the BATCHSQL parameter. For those who don't know, "in
BATCHSQL mode, Replicat organizes similar SQL statements into batches within a memory queue, and then it applies each batch in one
database operation. A batch contains SQL statements that affect the same table, operation type (insert, update, or delete), and column
list."
