Setting up a simple GoldenGate replication configuration between two single node databases

In this recipe we will look at how to configure GoldenGate for continuous replication between two single node databases.

Getting ready

For this setup, we make the following assumptions:

1. The source and target database have already been set up.

2. Both the databases have a schema called SCOTT which is in a consistent state. No transformations will be performed in this recipe.

3. Oracle GoldenGate binaries are already installed in both sites.

4. The extract method used in this example will be classic capture.

5. Supplemental Logging is enabled at database and table level for all the objects to be replicated.

How to do it...

We will follow these steps to set up this replication configuration.

Perform the following steps in the source database:

1. Set up the GoldenGate user. Run the following command in the source database:

   sqlplus sys/**** as sysdba
   CREATE USER GGATE_ADMIN identified by GGATE_ADMIN;
   GRANT CREATE SESSION, ALTER SESSION...
