Learn about the OGGCA utility and accessing the Service Manager and Deployment configurations for the first time, using the login credentials for Oracle GoldenGate.

Deployments are created after Oracle GoldenGate software is installed. The Oracle GoldenGate Configuration Assistant (OGGCA) utility is used to create deployments and the Service Manager process on a host machine.

The OGGCA utility has many functions, which can be performed by running this program from the /bin folder of the Oracle GoldenGate software installation directory ($OGG_HOME/bin). You can use OGGCA to perform the following tasks:
  • Add the Service Manager to a host machine after completing the Oracle GoldenGate installation.

  • Add or remove deployments from a Service Manager.

  • Create users for accessing the Service Manager and user deployments and enable a strong password policy.

  • Integrate with XAG when using Oracle GoldenGate with Oracle Grid Infrastructure.

  • Save the OGGCA response file that contains the configuration details of the Service Manager and deployment.

  • Configure environment variables.

  • Enable security and upload client, service, and trusted root CA certificates for the Service Manager and deployment.

  • Enable the Configuration Service to store configuration data to a specified filesystem or Oracle databsae server.

  • Enable and configure the StatsD server to send performance data.
