Replicate data from HeatWave to Autonomous Data Warehouse

Learn how to use OCI GoldenGate to replicate data from HeatWave to Autonomous Data Warehouse.

Before you begin

To successfully complete this quicktart, you must have the following:

  • OCI Bastion, to connect to HeatWave, load the sample database, and perform inserts
  • A HeatWave database to serve as the source database
  • An Autonomous Data Warehouse instance to serve as the target database

Environment set up: HeatWave

To set up the environment for this Quickstart:
  1. Download the sample data script, and then run the script on the HeatWave database to create the database and load the data.
  2. Create a ggadmin user using the following script. Remember to replace <ggadmin-password> with a valid password:
    CREATE USER 'ggadmin' IDENTIFIED BY '<ggadmin-password>';
    GRANT SELECT, REPLICATION SLAVE, REPLICATION CLIENT, CREATE,CREATE VIEW, EVENT, INSERT, UPDATE, DROP,EXECUTE, DELETE ON *.* TO 'ggadmin';
  3. Open port 3306, through which OCI GoldenGate can connect.
    1. In the Oracle Cloud console, locate the subnet that the HeatWave database uses.
    2. In the security list of the subnet, create an Ingress rule for port TCP/3306.
  4. Download the target schema scripts, and then run the scripts in the Autonomous Data Warehouse instance to create the schema and tables. You can use the Autonomous Data Warehouse Database Actions SQL tool to run the scripts:
    1. In the Oracle Cloud console, open the Autonomous Data Warehouse database details page, and then click Database Actions.
    2. In Database Actions, under Development, click SQL.
    3. In the SQL tool, copy and paste the script from OCIGGLL_OCIGGS_SETUP_USERS_ADW.sql into the SQL worksheet, and then click Run Script. If successful, the Script Output tab displays confirmation messages.
    4. Clear the SQL worksheet, and then copy and paste only the Create Table scripts from OCIGGLL_OCIGGS_SRC_MIRROR_USER_SEED_DATA.sql. The data will be loaded in a later task.

      Tip:

      You may need to run each Create Table statement separately for the SQL tool to execute the scripts successfully.
    5. To verify the tables were created successfully, close the SQL window and reopen it again. In the Navigator tab, look for the SRC_OCIGGLL schema, and then select the tables from their respective dropdowns.

Task 1: Create the OCI GoldenGate resources

This quickstart example requires deployments and connections for both the source and target.
  1. Create a deployment for the source HeatWave database.
