Introduction The target database instantiation, or initial load, process is key to a successful Oracle GoldenGate implementation. In this article we shall present best practices when instantiating a target Microsoft SQL Server database from a source SQL Server database when implementing Oracle GoldenGate. Main Article When planning a target database instantiation, there are several questions you must first ask yourself: 1. Are we taking the source database off-line, or will...

When monitoring and/or troubleshooting the ICS Connectivity Agent server, it is important to not only have the standard logs (e.g., AdminServer-diagnostic.log) but also the standard out/error (stdout/stderr). One of the big challenges of capturing the stdout is not exhausting the disk storage over time. Since the ICS Connectivity Agent is a WebLogic server installation, there are out-of-the-box options available for redirecting the stdout/stderr (see WebLogic Server logging...

Executive Overview Oracle Database File System (DBFS) is used in providing shared storage mount points within SOACS and MFTCS clusters. DBFS provides a standard file system interface for directories and files on top of database tables[1] . So, by using the database running in the DBCS instance associated with any SOACS or MFTCS instance, DBFS provides a shared network file system similar to NFS that appears like a local file system. This shared network file system provided by...

Introduction Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) best practices dictate that the OGG Apply process run on the target database server. However, there are instances where this configuration is not practical. In this article we shall discuss a solution where OGG Apply may be configured on a mid-tier server and apply data over a network to a remote SQL Server Database. Main Article A typical Oracle GoldenGate implementation that follows best practices guidelines is depicted below. In this...

Introduction We receive a lot of questions on how to setup Oracle GoldenGate to perform "soft" deletes in Data Warehouses. By default, Oracle GoldenGate replicates data operations exactly as they occur in the source database; however, in Data Warehouses their is typically a requirement to retain the original data record and set a flag that shows the record was deleted. This is what we mean by "soft" delete. In this article we shall present the three most common use cases and...

Introduction The process of deploying SOA Projects to Oracle SOA Cloud Services (SOACS) can be significantly simplified and streamlined using the Oracle Developer Cloud Services (DevCS) by facilitating the inbuilt Maven and GIT repositories. This article is a walk-through on how create a SOA Project in JDeveloper and get it deployed on SOACS using DevCS. It is based on Windows, but other operating systems work in a very similar way. The following graphic shows the simplified...

Introduction Oracle GoldenGate contains advanced functionality that exposes a wealth of information users may leverage. In this article we shall discuss three of these, TOKENS; which is user defined data written to Oracle GoldenGate Trails, the Column Conversion Function @TOKEN; which is used to retrieve the token data from the Oracle GoldenGate Trail, and the Column Conversion Function @GETENV; which is used to get information about the Oracle GoldenGate environment. We will...

In the process of getting your Oracle Public Cloud Compute nodes ready for some real work you often need to attach additional disks to enlarge your disk capacity. The blog shows how you can easily format and mount these disks with a script that is activated through Linux' SystemD. After you have orchestrated your nodes and the machines have booted you can access the machines over SSH to install and configure the software that you want to run on those nodes. As part of that...
