GoldenGate on Exadata
Already mentioned in the previous chapter is the Oracle Sun Database Machine. This purpose built machine features a number of Oracle 11gR2 database servers configured for RAC offering highly parallel processing on Exadata storage and high speed Infiniband network interfaces. The environment also supports GoldenGate, enabling real-time data integration.
Depending on the machine size, the database servers and storage cells can be configured in a number of ways to provide more than one RAC cluster. If your source and target database reside in the same Database Machine, there is no need to configure a Data Pump process. Data can be transmitted directly from Extract to Replicat at very high speeds.
Configuration
Configuring GoldenGate on Exadata is a similar process to 11gR1 RAC environments except we use DBFS as the shared mount point supporting the persistent GoldenGate files.
The GoldenGate Manager must only run on one node in a RAC cluster. To prevent Extract and Replicat...
