About Deployments

A deployment is a configuration to set up for Oracle GoldenGate Microservices to allow creating users, choose if you want to create a secure SSL environment, define the host and port for various microservices offered with Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture. When you add a deployment for the first time, you can set up a new Service Manager and then add more deployments to the existing Service Manager.

What is a Deployment?

A deployment is a configuration package to set up Oracle GoldenGate Microservices for your choice of database. Deployments can be setup to be secure or non-secure and are added to a Service Manager.

Oracle GoldenGate Configuration Wizard (OGGCA) is a utility that allows you to configure your deployments. See the Add a Deployment topic to learn more about using OGGCA to configure various options associated with a deployment.

When you start the deployment configuration for the first time on the host server:

• Decide if you need a secure or non-secure deployment. This is because you cannot change from secure to non-secure or non-secure to secure deployments after configuration.

• Configure a new Service Manager on your host server. After the first time configuration, all new deployments should be added to the existing Service Manager available on the host server.

Note:

Oracle recommends that you have a single Service Manager per host server, to avoid redundant upgrade and maintenance tasks with Oracle GoldenGate releases.

Secure Deployment

If you decide to set up a secure deployment, then the deployment configuration provides you options to set up a secure SSL/TLS connection, using server and client certificates.

A secure deployment uses RESTful API calls over an SSL/TLS connection to transmit trail data between the Distribution Service and Receiver Service.

See Specify Security Options in the Add a Deployment topic, to learn about configuring security for source and target deployments.

Non-Secure Deployment

For a non-secure deployment, you don't need to apply server and client side certificates for the deployment. RESTful API calls occur over plain-text HTTP over the network.

Local and Remote Deployments

• Local deployment: For a local deployment, the source database and Oracle GoldenGate are installed on the same server. No extra consideration is needed for local deployments.

• Remote deployment: For a remote deployment, the source database and Oracle GoldenGate are installed on separate servers.
