How to Verify the Installation of an Oracle GoldenGate Instance

On the node where you installed the Oracle GoldenGate instance, as the root user, do the following:

1. Switch to the Oracle GoldenGate administrative user.

   # su - goldengate

2. Run the ggsci utility.

   $ installation directory/ggsci 

3. Stop the extract and the replicat processes.

   $ GGSCI (node) 1>  stop er *

4. Stop the manager processes.

   $ GGSCI (node) 2>  stop mgr !

5. Exit the ggsci utility.

   $ GGSCI (node) 3>  exit

6. If the replicat processes are configured, kill all remaining server processes.

   $ pkill -f installation directory

7. Start the manager as well as the configured extract and the replicat processes using the ggsci utility.

   $ installation directory/ggsci
   GGSCI (node) 1>  start mgr
   GGSCI (node) 2>  start er *

8. Check if the instance goes online.

   $ GGSCI (node) 3>  info all

   Repeat this until all processes show the status as RUNNING.

9. Stop the Oracle GoldenGate instance using the ggsci utility.

   $ installation directory/ggsci
   GGSCI (node) 1>  stop er *
   GGSCI (node) 2>  stop mgr !
   GGSCI (node) 3>  exit

10. If the replicat processes are configured, kill all remaining server processes.
