Configuring the Manager process
In Chapter 2, Installing and Preparing GoldenGate, we discussed the
PORT parameter that is mandatory to the GoldenGate Manager process communication. In the previous section we learnt how to set a retention period for trail files in the Manager configuration. Let's take a look at some additional, highly useful Manager parameters, AUTOSTART and AUTORESTART.
In the following example, AUTOSTART tells the Manager to start the Extract and Replicat processes when the Manager process starts. AUTORESTART instructs the Manager process to restart just the Extract process(es) after two minutes, should the Extract process(es) fail. In this instance, the Manager will retry five times before abending the processes.
AUTOSTART ER * AUTORESTART EXTRACT *, WAITMINUTES 2, RETRIES 5
