Connect to Google Cloud Storage

Learn to create a connection to Google Cloud Storage to use as a target in a data replication.

Before you begin

Before you create the connection, ensure that you:

Create the connection

To create a Google Cloud Storage connection:
  1. From the OCI GoldenGate Overview page, click Connections.
    You can also click Create Connection under the Get started section and skip to step 3.
  2. On the Connections page, click Create Connection.
  3. On the Create Connection page, complete the fields as follows:
    1. For Name, enter a name for the connection.
    2. (Optional) For Description, enter a description that helps you distinguish this connection from others.
    3. (For GoldenGate on Multicloud only) Select your Subscription, and then complete the following fields.
      1. From the Compartment dropdown, select the compartment in which the Resource Anchor resides.
      2. Select the Multicloud partner region.
      3. Select your Partner availability zone. The available options populate based on the selected Multicloud partner region.
    4. For Compartment, select the compartment in which to create the connection.
    5. From the Type dropdown, select Google Cloud Storage.
    6. Select the Service account key file secret. If located in a different compartment, use the dropdown to change compartments.
      Note

      • Secrets are credentials such as passwords, certificates, SSH keys, or authentication tokens that you use with OCI services. To create a secret, see Creating a secret. Ensure that you:
        • Select Manual secret generation.
        • Paste the credentials into Secret contents.
      • If you prefer not to use password secrets, ensure that you deselect Use secrets in vault in the Security section under Advanced Options, located at the bottom of this form.
    7. Expand Show advanced options. You can configure the following options:
      • Security
        • Deselect Use vault secrets you prefer not to use password secrets for this connection. If not selected:
          • Select Use Oracle-managed encryption key to leave all encryption key management to Oracle.
          • Select Use customer-managed encryption key to select a specific encryption key stored in your OCI Vault to encrypt your connection credentials.
      • Network connectivity
        • Shared endpoint, to share an endpoint with the assigned deployment. You must allow connectivity from the deployment's ingress IP.
        • Dedicated endpoint, for network traffic through a dedicated endpoint in the assigned subnet in your VCN. You must allow connectivity from this connection's ingress IPs.
          Note

          • If a dedicated connection remains unassigned for seven days, then the service converts it to a shared connection.
          • Learn more about Oracle GoldenGate connectivity.
      • Security attributes: Add security attributes to control access to this connection using Zero Trust Packet Routing (ZPR).
      • Tags: Add tags to organize your resources.
  4. Click Create.
After the connection is created, it appears in the Connections list. Ensure that you assign the connection to a deployment to use it as a target in a replication.

Known issues with Google Cloud Storage connections

Java.net.UnknownHostException errors for Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage connections with Shared endpoints

When using Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage connections with Shared endpoints, you may encounter Java.net.UnknownHostException errors.

Workaround: Edit the connection and change the Traffic routing method to Dedicated, or select Dedicated when you create Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage connections.
