Access pipelines

Explore the information available to you on the Pipeline details page.

Pipeline details

To access your pipeline’s detail page, select the pipeline from the Pipelines page. On the details page, you can:

• Perform actions such as edit, start/stop, collect diagnostics, move the resource to another compartment, add tags, or delete the pipeline.

• View information such as the pipeline's OCID, compartment, creation date, OCPU, auto scaling, license type, pipeline type, and its source and target connections. You can also test the connections.

• Access pipeline resources such as:

  • Monitoring

  • Mapping rules

  • Initialization

  • Runtime

  • Logs

  • Work requests

Initialization

If you’re familiar with GoldenGate processes, then a pipeline is an abstraction of a data replication process. When you start the pipeline, initialization steps are performed in a linear fashion, creating all the necessary resources and prepares databases for data replication based on information collected upon creation. Initialization steps include:

• Check source and target database

• Prepare the database objects for extraction

• Creates a Heartbeat Table

• Creates and runs the Extract (Capture)

• Check that target schemas and tables exist

• Creates the Checkpoint Table

• Creates and runs the Replicat (Apply)

You can select View details from the Actions menu of each initialization step to review the status and system messages corresponding to each step.

Runtime

When your pipeline is Active and running, you can view the status and latency of the Capture and Apply processes on the Runtime section of your pipeline details page. You can use this information to observe the state of these processes and take action when needed.
