Reviewing Oracle GoldenGate Deployments

After you install Oracle GoldenGate, you create deployments on the source and target databases. Each deployment has services that create and manage replication.

Oracle GoldenGate deployments include these services:

• Service Manager — The primary watchdog service within Oracle GoldenGate Microservices that allows you to control and administer the deployments and associated microservices running on the host server.

• Administration Service — Supervises, administers, manages, and monitors processes within an Oracle GoldenGate deployment.

  The Administration Service operates as the central control entity for managing the replication components in your Oracle GoldenGate deployments. Oracle GoldenGate Extract and Replicat processes are created in this service.

• Distribution Service — Functions as a networked data distribution agent in support of conveying and processing data and commands in a distributed deployment.

  For PeopleSoft environments this service is enabled on the source deployment only.

• Receiver Service — The central control service that handles all incoming trail files.

  It interoperates with the Distribution Service and it replaces multiple discrete target-side Collectors with a single instance service. For PeopleSoft databases this service is enabled on the target deployment only.

• Trail files — Store the extracted data as part of the replication processing.
