Beginning Oracle GoldenGate provides an introduction to Oracle GoldenGate from an implementer s viewpoint. The book helps in the implementation of GoldenGate as a tool for moving data in all types of use-cases from a simple database copy to high-performance replication in real-time within an active-active scenario. The book takes a hands-on, example-based approach with an emphasis on the advanced implementation components that make up so much of the power and capability that GoldenGate offers.
A GoldenGate implementation generally consists of a group project involving both business and technical resources. First, a business case must be built showing a proper justification and return on investment. Then comes a planning phase, and that’s followed by implementation and actual use of the tool. Beginning Oracle GoldenGate begins from the beginning by helping you make the business case. Next, the book guides you through the subsequent installation, configuration, and operation of the product.
Beginning Oracle GoldenGate helps you learn to replicate using classic capture and integrated capture. You’ll learn about one-way and multi-master replication. Along the way, you’ll learn about the GoldenGate Manager, and about the Extract and Pump processes, and when to use them. You’ll learn some critical points about the oft-overlooked task of creating the target database for a replication process. You’ll learn about basic maintenance, security, and types of storage. Coverage is also given to metrics, reporting, and troubleshooting.Takes you through justification, installation, and support.Provides multiple perspectives on each implementation approach.Starts with basic and discusses more advanced implementations.
What you’ll learn Implement classic capture in a one-way setup. Build integrated capture and replication scenarios. Design, architect, and implement a multi-master replication model. Perform heterogeneous replication between multiple database architectures. Replicate unsupported data types using tokens. Manage and troubleshoot multiple GoldenGate implementations.
