Creating a set of parallel load balanced, highly available GoldenGate configurations using Oracle Clusterware and DBFS

In the previous recipes in this chapter we have seen how we can configure Oracle GoldenGate in a clustered database environment. If there are multiple databases in the cluster that you want to replicate the data to/from, you can configure multiple Replicat processes for various databases running under a single Manager process. A single instance of Oracle GoldenGate can only be active on one of the nodes of the cluster. This means that the replication load of all the databases will be on the single node of the cluster. In such circumstances it is better to configure multiple instances of Oracle GoldenGate in the cluster as, in such a configuration, we can split the replication load between different nodes of the cluster.

In this recipe we will see how we can configure multiple instances of GoldenGate with DBFS repositories to balance the replication load between multiple nodes...
