Golden Gate Installation and Configuration

Suppose that you have two Oracle database 12c installed on the servers. One is for the source database (ora12c1), the other is the target database (ora12c2). After that, you should perform an initial loading for schemas that are mapped later.

Before installing OGG 12.2, we have to prepare the environment variables for OGG. In this case, we use oracle as the operational account of OGG.

[oracle@ora12c1 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/ogg
[oracle@ora12c1 ~]$ vi .bash_profile
...
OGG_HOME=/u01/app/ogg
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$OGG_HOME

...
export PATH ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID OGG_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[oracle@ora12c1 ~]$ . .bash_profile

There're two important variables for OGG in the profile, one is $OGG_HOME, the other is $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Next, we can install OGG 12.2.

[oracle@ora12c1 ~]$ cd /tmp
[oracle@ora12c1 tmp]$ unzip -q fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_shiphome.zip
[oracle@ora12c1 tmp]$ cd fbo_ggs_Linux_x64_shiphome/Disk1/
[oracle@ora12c1 Disk1]$ ./runInstaller

Select the database version. In this case, we choose 12c.

Install OGG 12c 01
Install OGG 12c 01
Install OGG 12c 02
Install OGG 12c 02
Install OGG 12c 03
Install OGG 12c 03
Install OGG 12c 03-01
Install OGG 12c 03-01
Install OGG 12c 04
Install OGG 12c 04
Install OGG 12c 05
Install OGG 12c 05

Configure Oracle database for OGG

[oracle@ora12c1 ~]$ cd $OGG_HOME
[oracle@ora12c1 ogg]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

User created.

You don't have to grant any privileges, because the later SQL will grant roles to it.

Configure an EXTRACT for transporting local REDO TRAIL of the source database to the target database. Actually, it's a data pump processor.

Don't forget to add supplemental logs for the mapping schemas.

GGSCI (ora12c1.example.com) 16> dblogin userid ogg, password ogg123
Successfully logged into database.

GGSCI (ora12c1.example.com as ogg@ora12c1) 18> add schematrandata sh

Now, let's go to the target database and configure a REPLICAT for receiving and applying REDO TRAIL transported from the source database.

First, start the manager.

Now, we have installed and setup the Oracle GoldenGate environment. Next, you may like to verify the release no of Oracle GoldenGate.

Later on, you might need to know how to check if GoldenGate is in sync for daily routine monitoring.
