Configuration Service: Guidelines

Consider the following guidelines before deciding to use the Configuration Service (ConfigService) in OGGCA:

• ConfigService is configured when adding deployments using OGGCA. See Select Service Manager Options.

• The Database and Fileset options both provide high availability with Oracle GoldenGate.

• If you decide to use the ConfigService, then you cannot revert to using conventional File Management system.

• If you select the Database option, then use the following guidelines:

  • The database used by the ConfigService can be in a Real Application Cluster and/or a primary database in a Data Guard environment.

  • The database back-end only supports Oracle AI Database.

  • You can query the back-end table of the ConfigService, but you cannot modify it’s content.

  • The tablespace that contains the back-end table must use a locally managed tablespace.

  • The back-end table can be at a remote database.

  • As many Configuration Services from different deployments can use one and the same backend table, the configuration data can be centralized.
