6.160 TARGETDEFS

Valid For

Extract (primary and data pump)

Description

Use the TARGETDEFS parameter to specify a target-definitions file. TARGETDEFS names a file on the source system or on an intermediary system that contains data definitions of tables and files that exist on the target system.

You can have multiple TARGETDEFS statements in the parameter file if more than one target-definitions file is needed for different definitions, for example if each TARGETDEFS file holds the definitions for a specific application.

To generate the target-definitions file, use the DEFGEN utility. Transfer the file to the source or intermediary system before starting Extract.

See Administering Oracle GoldenGate for more information about using data-definitions files.
