Verifying the Oracle GoldenGate Installation and Configuration

Language:

Before you install the HA for Oracle GoldenGate packages, verify that the Oracle GoldenGate software is correctly installed and configured to run in a cluster. These procedures do not verify that the Oracle GoldenGate application is highly available because you have not yet installed your data service.

Note - For more information, see the GoldenGate documentation.

The procedure in this section verifies the installation and configuration of the Oracle GoldenGate components.

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:

Switch to the Oracle GoldenGate administrative user.
```
# su - goldengate
```

Run the ggsci utility.
```
$ installation directory/ggsci 
```

Stop the extract and the replicat processes.
```
$ GGSCI (node) 1>  stop er *
```

Stop the manager processes.
```
$ GGSCI (node) 2>  stop mgr !
```

Exit the ggsci utility.
```
$ GGSCI (node) 3>  exit
```

If the replicat processes are configured, kill all remaining server processes.
```
$ pkill -f installation directory
```

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 *
```
Check if the instance goes online.
```
$ GGSCI (node) 3>  info all
```
Repeat this until all processes show the status as RUNNING.

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

If the replicat processes are configured, kill all remaining server processes.
```
$ pkill -f installation directory
```
