Other Programs and Settings

Learn about additional prerequisites before installing Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture.

The following additional features must be available to support Oracle GoldenGate.

• To use Oracle GoldenGate user exits, install the C/C++ Compiler, which creates the programs in the required shared object or DLL.

• Gzip or any other zip file utility to decompress the Oracle GoldenGate installation files. Otherwise, you must unzip the installation on a PC by using a Windows-based product, and then FTP it to the AIX, Db2 for i, or Db2 z/OS platforms.

• For best results on Db2 platforms, apply high impact (HIPER) maintenance on a regular basis staying within one year of the current maintenance release. The HIPER process identifies defects that could affect data availability or integrity. IBM provides Program Temporary Fixes (PTF) to correct defects found in Db2 for i and Db2 z/OS.

• For Oracle GoldenGate for Db2 z/OS, the objects require a minimum hardware platform of z10, a minimum operating system release 1.13, and a minimum Db2 release 11.

  Oracle GoldenGate supports Sysplex data sharing.

• Oracle GoldenGate on Windows requires Visual C++ Redistributable v14 to be installed:
