5.1.2 Discovering an Oracle GoldenGate Enterprise Manager Plug-in Classic Instance

Ensure that the plug-in has already been imported to the Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and deployed to the management agent.

To discover a Classic Instance of the Oracle GoldenGate Enterprise Manager Plug-in:

1. After logging in to the Oracle GoldenGate Enterprise Manager Plug-in, on the main page, select Setup, click Add Target, and then select Configure Auto Discovery to display the Setup Discovery page.
2. In Setup Discovery page, on the Targets tab, select a target and then click Discovery Modules to configure the discovery modules.
3. In the Discovery Module page that is displayed, select the Oracle GoldenGate Classic check box.
4. Click Edit Parameters to display the Edit Parameters: Oracle GoldenGate dialog box.
5. Enter the following information required to connect to the Oracle GoldenGate agent:
   • Monitor Agent Host Name: Enter the hostname of the Oracle GoldenGate instance or Cluster Virtual IP (VIP) of high availability cluster environment (HA/RAC). For example, <agenthost>.us.oracle.com. The Monitor agent is a secure tunnel way, and therefore, these agent details are required to connect the Enterprise Manager and Oracle GoldenGate.

     Note:

     To monitor multiple Oracle GoldenGate instances where individual Oracle Enterprise Manager agent is installed on each of the same host as Oracle GoldenGate, do not use LOCALHOST.

     Note:

     For HA/RAC environments, when the targets are promoted, the host property of the targets is updated with Virtual IP. When these targets are relocated or failed over to another node, they are still accessible using the same monitoring details. This is because the Enterprise Manager agent continues to monitor the Oracle GoldenGate instance irrespective of where the Oracle GoldenGate instance is actually running.

   • Monitor Agent User Name: Enter the Monitor agent user name. Enter the user credential that you have used while configuring the Monitor agent.

   • Monitor Agent Password: Enter the Monitor agent password.

   • Monitor Agent Port: Enter the port number of the agent host. For example, 5559.

6. Click OK when finished in the Edit Parameters page.
7. Click OK to go back to the Setup Discovery page.
8. Select the target host, click Discovered Targets, and then click Discover Now to discover targets, and click Yes in the Discover Now confirmation dialog box.
9. After the discovery is successful, click Close in the Confirmation dialog box.
10. To view the discovery logs in case of an error occurrence, select the target, click Diagnostic Details, select Oracle GoldenGate Classic, and the click Log from Agent.

You need to promote these discovered targets now. See Promoting Oracle GoldenGate Targets.
