Using Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service with Exadata Cloud Service

Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is a secure, high performance data integration and replication service that can replicate data in real time from on-premises databases to databases in Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service.

You must create an Exadata Cloud Service database deployment that is properly configured for use as a GoldenGate Cloud Service replication target before you create a GoldenGate Cloud Service instance.

To properly configure an Exadata Cloud Service database deployment for use as a replication target:

• You must configure the database deployment for use as a replication database.

  You can configure the database deployment for use as a replication database by setting the Enable Oracle GoldenGate option on the Instance Details page of the Create Instance wizard.

• The target database must be network accessible on the listener port.

  You can specifically enable network access to the Oracle Net Listener port. See Enabling Network Access to a Compute Node. If you specifically enable access to the Oracle Net Listener port, ensure that you always use an encrypted Oracle Net Services connection. See Using Network Encryption and Integrity.

Once you have created and properly configured an Exadata Cloud Service database deployment for use as a replication target, you can create an Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service instance that uses it. See Provision an Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service Instance in Using Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service.
