H Configuring Capture in Classic Mode

This chapter contains instructions for configuring the Oracle GoldenGate capture process in classic mode.

Note:

To switch an active Extract configuration from integrated to classic mode, perform these configuration steps and then see Administering Oracle GoldenGate.

Topics:

• Prerequisites for Configuring Classic Capture
  You must adhere to the guidelines in this topic before configuring an Extract in classic mode.
• What to Expect from these Instructions
  These instructions show you how to configure a basic Extract parameter (configuration) file for the primary Extract, which captures transaction data from the data source, and for a data-pump Extract, which propagates captured data that is stored locally in a trail from the source system to the target system.
• Configuring the Primary Extract in Classic Capture Mode
  You can set up a classic Extract process for intial loading of source data and replicating it.
• Configuring the Data Pump Extract
  These steps configure the data pump that reads the local trail and sends the data across the network to a remote trail. The data pump is optional, but recommended.
• Next Steps
  A parameter file is a plain text file that is read by an associated Oracle GoldenGate process to control the product functionality.
