5 Administering Oracle GoldenGate and Source Dependent Schemas

In a conventional ETL scenario, data is loaded from source online transaction processing (OLTP) schemas, which in many cases support full-time transactional systems with constant ongoing updates. Contention can arise during complex extracts from these sources, particularly in cases where significant OLTP data changes have occurred which must be processed and loaded by ETL processes.

To relieve this contention, you can set up source dependent schemas which replicate OLTP schemas in the same database as the Oracle Business Analytics Warehouse schema. In addition to segregating extract processing on the analytical system and eliminating contention on transactional systems, physical architecture and ETL performance benefits accrue from maintaining source data in the same physical location as the warehouse tables, consolidating multiple sources, regions and timezones, and eliminating network bottlenecks and incremental change capture during extraction and load.

In addition to the ETL use case, you can reconcile ledger information available in your Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Fusion Applications using Oracle GoldenGate.
