About Receiver Service Paths

Receiver Service paths, also known as target-initiated distribution paths, initiates a path from the target deployment to the Distribution Service on the source and pull trail files.

The Receiver Service Paths create a target initiated path for environments such as Demilitarized Zone Paths (DMZ) or Cloud to on-premise, where the Distribution Service Paths in the source Oracle GoldenGate deployment cannot open network connections in the target environment to the Receiver Service Path due to network security policies.

If the Distribution Service Path cannot initiate connections to the Receiver Service Path, but Receiver Service Path can initiate a connection to the machine running the Distribution Service Path, then the Receiver Service Path establishes a secure or non-secure target initiated path through a firewall or Demilitarized (DMZ) zone using Oracle GoldenGate and pulls the requested trail files.

The Receiver Service Path endpoints display that the retrieval of the trail files was initiated by the Receiver Service Path.
