9.2.1 Add Replicat

Replicat can be configured in GoldenGate for Distributed Applications and Analytics (GG for DAA) 23ai web-based user interface.

To create a Replicat:

1. Complete prerequisites based on source technology type. See the following sections for technology-specific details.
2. Download dependencies using dependency downloader for your source technology and note the path to dependency files.
3. If required, create the credential store entry. See the following sections for technology-specific details.
4. In GG for DAA UI, go to Administration Service and click Add Replicat.
5. In Replicat Information, select a Replicat Type and provide a Process Name for the Replicat.
6. In Replicat Options, provide a name for Replicat Trail, select Target from drop down list. Depending on the target selected, replicat properties will be auto populated in Properties File.
7. Managed Options are optional, enable if needed.

   Option	Description
   Profile Name	Provides the name of the autostart and autorestart profile. You can select the default or custom options. If you have already created a profile, then you can select that profile also. If you select the Custom option, then you can set up a new profile from this section itself.
   Critical to deployment health	(Oracle only) Enable this option if the profile is critical for the deployment health. Note: This option only appears while creating the Extract or Replicat and not when you set up the managed processes in the Profiles page.
   Auto Start	Enables autostart for the process
   Startup Delay	Time to wait in seconds before starting the process

   Restart on Failure only	If true, the task is only restarted if it fails.
   Disable Task After Retries Exhausted	If true, then the task is disabled after exhausting all attempts to restart the process.

   On the Parameters File screen, enter the basic parameters for setting up a Replicat. By default, the Parameter File text contains some parameters, which can be customized as required.

   If Coordinated Replicat is used, add TARGETDB LIBFILE libggjava.so SET property=/u02/Deployment/etc/conf/ogg/your_replicat_name.properties to parameters file.

8. On the Properties File screen, update the properties marked as TODO. In gg.classpath, provide the path to dependency files you downloaded in step 2.
9. Click Create and Run to start the Replicat after adding it. Click Create to add the Replicat but not start it immediately after being created.
