Oracle GoldenGate 11g Implementer's guide

Chapter 2. Installing and Preparing GoldenGate

Nowadays the DBA has Sys Admin skills and vice versa. For a successful GoldenGate installation, you will need both, but don't let this put you off! This chapter describes the process of downloading, installing, and configuring the GoldenGate software, plus the pre-installation steps from the Operating System and database preparation to confirming the software and hardware requirements. Consideration has been made to the GoldenGate environment and the Oracle database setup, including a configuration overview that allows you to swiftly get up and running. The final section guides you through the de-installation of the GoldenGate software.

This chapter will step you through the tasks needed to complete an end to end GoldenGate installation in the order specified as follows:

  1. Downloading the software from the Oracle Website.

  2. Unpacking the installation zip file.

  3. Preparing the source and target systems.

  4. Installing the software on source and target systems...

Prerequisites


Although the installation process may vary between platforms, for the purpose of this book, the discussion topics and demonstrations will be based on Oracle GoldenGate V10.4.0.x for Oracle 11g on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0 32-bit.

There are a number of prerequisites we need to be aware of before installing Oracle GoldenGate 10.4. Let's take a look at these.

Downloading the software

At the time of writing, to obtain an evaluation copy of GoldenGate 10.4, we need to log on to the Oracle eDelivery website:

http://edelivery.oracle.com

Note

You will need to register and accept the license agreement before you can download any software.

Oracle has placed GoldenGate in the Oracle Fusion Middleware family section, under Business Intelligence. Here you will find Oracle GoldenGate for Oracle and non-Oracle environments on a number of supported platforms.

For example, choose Linux x86 from the drop-down and select Oracle Media Pack v2 for Linux x86. Then click the Continue button.

On the next...

Software installation


Having satisfied all the necessary prerequisities, you are now ready to install the GoldenGate software. The next paragraphs offer a step-by-step guide to the installation process.

Installing GoldenGate

To use GoldenGate software you must install it on both source and target systems. When installing GoldenGate on Linux or UNIX, it is highly recommended that the software is installed by the Oracle user. To install, follow these simple steps:

  1. Extract the Oracle GoldenGate Mediapack zipped file on a Windows system by using WinZip or an equivalent file compression product. This produces a UNIX tar file.

  2. FTP the tar file in binary mode to the UNIX system (database server) and directory where you want GoldenGate to be installed.

  3. Log on using telnet or ssh client to the database server as the Oracle user.

    Tip

    Ensure you have your Oracle environment variables set correctly, including LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined.

    For example, if using bash or korn shell set the variable as follows:

    export...

Preparing the environment


Preparation is the key to just about any task. Get the preparation right and you will be rewarded with the best results. This is also true for GoldenGate, where a number of fundamental areas need to be prepared before the installation can take place.

Preparing the database for data replication

To successfully create, configure and start our Extract, Data Pump, and Replicat processes, it's important to configure the source database. As described in Chapter 1, Getting Started, GoldenGate relies on the database's changed data to accomplish data replication.

Enabling supplemental logging

In order to extract the committed transactions from the source Oracle database's online redo logs, as a minimum the database must be configured for supplemental logging on Primary Key columns. This can be enabled at database level using the following DDL executed as SYSDBA:

[oracle@dbserver1 ggs]$ sqlplus '/as sysdba'
SQL> alter database add supplemental log data (primary key) columns...

Creating the initial configuration


This section describes the concept behind the configuration of GoldenGate and how to set up data replication. The configuration examples are of a basic level and are based on the Oracle Scott/Tiger schema. They do not necessarily represent a production environment. Chapter 7, Advanced Configuration provides greater detail.

You may also wish to refer to the Oracle GoldenGate Reference Guide 10.4 to support your understanding of commands and parameters.

The following steps create a simple GoldenGate unidirectional source-to-target configuration, where data is replicated from the SRC schema in the OLTP database on dbserver1, to the TGT schema in the OLAP database on dbserver2.

Creating the GoldenGate administrator

Before any configuration can take place, we need to create a GoldenGate Administrator user account on both source and target databases. This account provides access to the database tables for GoldenGate configuration and runtime operations.

Log on to...

Uninstalling GoldenGate from Linux/UNIX


Uninstalling the GoldenGate software is, as one would expect, the reverse of installing it. The de-installation is as simple as the installation and can be done by following the example below:

  1. Log on to the database server (as oracle) where the GoldenGate software is installed.

  2. Change directory to the GoldenGate home:

    cd /home/oracle/ggs
    
  3. Start GGSCI:

    ggsci
    
  4. Stop all GoldenGate processes:

    GGSCI (dbserver1) 1> stop EXTRACT *
    

    Or:

    GGSCI (dbserver1) 1> stop REPLICAT *
    

    Then:

    GGSCI (dbserver1) 2> stop MGR
    Manager process is required by other GGS processes.
    Are you sure you want to stop it (y/n)? y
    Sending STOP request to MANAGER ...
    Request processed.
    Manager stopped.
    
    GGSCI (dbserver1) 3> exit
    
  5. Change directory to the installation directory:

    cd /home/oracle
    
  6. Remove the GoldenGate files:

    rm -rf ggs
    
  7. Logon to the Oracle database as SYSDBA and drop the GoldenGate Admin user. Include the CASCADE keyword:

    sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> drop user ggs_admin...

Summary


This chapter has provided us with an introduction to the end to end process of preparing the environment and installing the GoldenGate software. Although the initial configuration is relatively simple compared to a production environment, it has delivered the foundation, allowing us to build a working GoldenGate data replication solution.

In the next chapter, we look at design considerations, which is probably the most important step when implementing a GoldenGate solution..

This book includes solid content that is well organized and clear. It doesn't try to be the last word on all details surrounding GoldenGate. But it does an excellent job providing users who are new to GoldenGate great content surrounding the title--it's a great "implementer's guide".

In my daily work as APEX specialist and SOA enthusiast I didn't have the chance to use Oracle GoldenGate before. So I started reading this book as a novice on the subject.I was surprised by the huge amount of information given in this book. Almost every aspect of GoldenGate is described with abundant graphics and schematics. I really loved the introduction for each chapter that clearly explains what to expect in that chapter and the summaries at the end. It helped me to see if I really understood what the author meant to tell me in the rest of the chapter.Even though the book is only roughly 250 pages, and it is crammed full with theory on what GoldenGate is and when and how you should use it, there is still room for some excellent examples that show you how to install and configure GoldenGate and how to use its features. Included are some very nice tips and tricks on what you can do and what you should avoid to do.All in all an excellent book and a must-read for anyone using (or wanting to use) Oracle GoldenGate.

Pleasantly surprised; I was looking forward to this book and had very high expectations based of who was writing it. The author does a great job of covering Oracle GoldenGate (GG). The book is a quick and easy read that progresses forward in a step by step manner. This book is much better organized than the actual GG documentation. One minor thing I would of like is an image of where everything is in a recommended One-To-One "typical" replication. There was a table for "Configuration summary" but a visual of all the moving parts, the related files, and how to control/edit each file would have brought everything together visually. I see/read in pictures so this may not matter for other people.Overall highly recommend this book. It's an easy read over a weekend. Chapter 3 and 6 show the experience of the author and the early chapters establishes the right amount of foundation without drowning a person.Here is a one sentence break down on my impression per chapter:Ch 1 "Getting Started" presents some history of GG and the basic architectureCh 2 "Installing and Preparing GoldenGate" get it, install it, and understand what you installedCh 3 "Design Considerations" this chapter is worth the price of the book alone and John provides his experience in written form.Ch 4 "Configuring Oracle GoldenGate" here is where you get your hands dirty and get this really workingCh 5 "Configuration Options" going beyond the basicsCh 6 "Configuring GoldenGate for HA" is covers GG and RAC which is great.Ch 7 "Advanced Configuration" good to know what you can do with the right toolCh 8 "Managing Oracle GoldenGate" ok got it running now keep it running and determine how well it is runningCh 9 "Performance Tuning" make it run faster . . . what else would it be?Ch 10 "Troubleshooting GoldenGate" nothing ever runs perfect all the time how to fix it.
