4 Performing Post-Migration Tasks

Now that you've successfully migrated from Oracle GoldenGate to OCI GoldenGate, you can test your deployments and migration scenarios, and then perform clean up tasks.

Testing the Migrated Deployments

Verify that your new OCI GoldenGate deployment is accessible and capturing all change data capture transactions without any data loss during the migration process.

Cleaning up Resources in Oracle GoldenGate

After testing your migrated deployment in OCI GoldenGate, you can delete the original Oracle GoldenGate instance and supporting cloud or on premise resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic (Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service Classic or Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud) or Oracle GoldenGate on Marketplace. Deleting these resources prevents you from incurring costs for services you no longer use.

When you delete your original GoldenGate instance:

  • Compute resources such as block storage volumes and IP addresses are removed.
  • The Oracle Database Cloud Service instance isn’t deleted; only the database repository and schemas are deleted. You'll continue to incur charges for this database service instance. You may want to retain this database deployment if it's used for other service instances.

    For more information, see Delete DB Deployment.

  • The Oracle Object Storage container isn't deleted. You'll continue to incur charges for this storage container. You may want to retain this storage container if it's used for other service instances.

    For more information, see Deleting Containers.
