Connect to Amazon Redshift

Learn to create a connection to Amazon Redshift to use as a target for OCI GoldenGate.

Before you begin

Before you create the connection, ensure that you review how OCI GoldenGate connects to your source and targets.

Create the connection

To create an Amazon Redshift 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. In the Create Connection panel, complete the General Information 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 Compartment, select the compartment in which to create the connection.
    4. From the Type dropdown, under Big Data, select Amazon Redshift.
    5. (Optional) Click Show advanced options to manage keys or add tags.
      1. Under Security, select one of the following:
        • 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.
      2. Under Tags, add tags to organize your resources.
  4. Click Next.
  5. On the Connection details page, complete the fields as follows:
    1. for Connection URL, enter Amazon Redshift connection URL in the following format:
      jdbc:redshift://[host]:[port]/[database]

      Note:

      • You can add additional parameters to the end of the connection URL as needed. See Building the connection url for more information.
      • If a private IP is entered, then OCI GoldenGate rewrites the private IP in the format, ip-10-0-0-0.ociggsvc.oracle.vcn.com.
    2. For Username, enter the Amazon Redshift username.
    3. For Password, enter the password for the Amazon Redshift username.
    4. For Network connectivity, select a Traffic routing method:
      • 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.
  6. Click Create.

It takes a few minutes for your connection to become Active. Ensure that you assign the connection to a Big Data deployment to use it as a target in a data replication.
