Course Outline

Introduction to Oracle GoldenGate Architecture

  • Key GoldenGate components and their process roles: Extract, Pump, Replicat, Manager, and Collector.
  • GoldenGate topologies: one-way, bi-directional, cascaded, and hub-and-spoke configurations.
  • Overview of the GoldenGate Microservices architecture and its distinct advantages over the classic model.

Installation, Configuration, and Environment Setup

  • System requirements, supported platforms, and the installation process for GoldenGate 19c.
  • Configuring the Manager process, parameter files, and directory structures for deployment.
  • Database prerequisites, user privilege setup, and network configuration considerations.

Change Data Capture and Data Movement

  • Capture methods including Classic Extract, Integrated Extract, and Log-based CDC.
  • Architecture of trail files, transport strategies, and checkpointing mechanisms.
  • Configuration of Extract, Data Pump, and Replicat processes.

Mapping, Transformations, and Conflict Resolution

  • Implementing data mapping and column transformations via parameter files and mapping rules.
  • Managing data type conversions and character set alignment.
  • Strategies for detecting and resolving conflicts in bidirectional replication scenarios.

GoldenGate Microservices and Administrative Interface

  • Deploying and overseeing the GoldenGate Microservices Manager and Admin Server.
  • Leveraging GoldenGate Studio and REST APIs for administrative tasks.
  • Establishing security protocols including SSL/TLS, role-based access control, and secure connections.

Monitoring, Troubleshooting, and Performance Optimization

  • Tracking replication health, latency indicators, and performance metrics.
  • Identifying common error patterns, analyzing logs, and executing recovery procedures.
  • Optimizing Extract/Replicat parameters and resource allocation for high-throughput environments.

Advanced Topics: High Availability, Cloud, and Migration

  • Executing high-availability and zero-downtime migration strategies using GoldenGate.
  • Deploying GoldenGate in cloud and hybrid architectures (including OCI, AWS, and Azure).
  • Best practices for upgrading GoldenGate, applying patches, and planning migrations.

Hands-on Labs and Practical Scenarios

  • Lab: Installing GoldenGate 19c and setting up a one-way replication pipeline.
  • Lab: Implementing data transformations and handling DML and DDL replication.
  • Scenario: Diagnosing latency issues and performing failover or recovery actions.
