Send data from Oracle GoldenGate to OCI GoldenGate

Learn to create a trusted connection and send data from an on-premises or Marketplace Oracle GoldenGate to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure GoldenGate

Note: This quickstart applies only to Oracle GoldenGate Microservices because OCI GoldenGate only allows SSL-based communication. If you’re looking for how to replicate data from Oracle GoldenGate Classic to OCI GoldenGate, see Connecting GoldenGate Classic to GoldenGate Microservices and OCI GoldenGate.

Overview

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure GoldenGate enables you to send data from an on-premises or Marketplace Oracle GoldenGate to OCI GoldenGate using a Distribution Path. The following steps guide you through how to set up and run this replication model using the latest Oracle GoldenGate version for OCI Marketplace.

This quickstart is also available as a LiveLab: View the workshop.
