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.

Your business requirements probably will require a more complex topology, but this procedure forms a basis for the rest of your configuration steps.

By performing these steps, you can:

• get the basic configuration files established.

• build upon them later by adding more parameters as you make decisions about features or requirements that apply to your environment.

• use copies of them to make the creation of additional parameter files faster than starting from scratch.

Note:

These instructions do not configure Oracle GoldenGate to perform DDL capture or replication. To support DDL, create the parameter files and then see the following chapters:
