  • Use the same operating system user used to install the required software.

  • Ensure Oracle GoldenGate is installed on the target database server.

  • Ensure Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent is installed on the target database server.

  • Ensure that Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent instance configure template, Created and set Wallet on the Target Database server

  • Ensure that the ODI Repository schema is created on the target database server.

  • Ensure Java is installed on the application server.

  • Ensure Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure is installed on the target application server.

Set Up Oracle GoldenGate on Target Database Server

  1. Connect to the target database as a sys user and run the command below:

    Copy 
    alter system set enable_goldengate_replication=TRUE scope=both;

  2. In the Command window, navigate to the Oracle GoldenGate Home directory.

  3. Edit the GLOBALS file in the directory and add the following command:

    Copy 
    EnableMonitoring

  4. Save the file.
