Introduction

Performance tuning is a key part of any IT implementation. When you install an application with its default options, they sometimes might not deliver the best performance. This is where having detailed knowledge allows the administrator to configure it in a way to achieve best performance. Tuning involves evaluating the current setup and making changes for improving the performance. Like any technology, the design of GoldenGate replication can affect the end result performance quite a bit.

Once you have implemented GoldenGate in your environment, you will need to monitor it to ensure that the replication is working as expected. If any of the processes are not running, you will need to troubleshoot them to find the real cause.

In this chapter, we will learn various aspects of replication design that one should consider for optimal performance while implementing GoldenGate. We will also learn some additional parameters using which the performance of GoldenGate replication can be...
