Learn how to use the interface to easily create, modify and deploy Oracle GoldenGate replication solutions.

Topics:

2.1 Understanding the User Interface Basics

Oracle GoldenGate provides a highly optimized user interface for easy creation, modification, and deployment of Oracle GoldenGate replication solutions.

There are two visible sections that appear when Oracle GoldenGate Studio is started. The Projects Navigator is visible on the left and the Start Page is visible on the right.

Screens shown in this guide may differ from your implementation, depending on the skin and icons used. Any differences are cosmetic.

Figure 2-1 Oracle GoldenGate Studio Main Window

Oracle GoldenGate Studio Main Window

The interface includes the tabbed editor area with a selection of other windows. The primary windows that are used with the editor area when you design and deploy Oracle GoldenGate replication solutions are:

  • Projects Navigator

  • Resources Navigator

  • Properties Inspector

  • Components Window

  • Log Messages Window

  • Security Navigator

You can also use the Tab key to change focus within a component and the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Tab to change focus between different components.

2.1.1 Oracle GoldenGate Studio Repository Login

Use the Oracle GoldenGate Studio Repository login to connect to Oracle GoldenGate Studio. The required connection details are:

Studio Connection

  • LoginName: Oracle GoldenGate Studio login name defined in the repository.

  • User: Oracle GoldenGate Studio user name.

  • Password: Oracle GoldenGate Studio user password.

Database Connection

  • User: The name of the repository.

  • Password: The password for the repository.

  • Driver List: The name of the selected driver.

  • Driver Name: Name of the login defined to the repository.

  • URL: For Oracle database, this is the URL of the driver. For MySQL database, this is the repository name which is same as User.

    For example, if the User is TEST_REPO, the URL should also be TEST_REPO.

You can click New to create a new Oracle GoldenGate Studio login. You save your first repository connection definition by using a secure wallet. The secure wallet is password protected, see Deleting a Secure Wallet.

Click Edit to modify the existing Oracle GoldenGate Studio login with the Repository Connection Information Editor.

    • GoldenGate Version: You can also select the version from the list while working offline. If there is an active connection and incorrect version is entered, the correct information is updated to overwrite the incorrect version when the Test Connection to GoldenGate button is placed.

    • GoldenGate Database Type: The database type for which the connection is created.

    • GoldenGate Port: The port number for the Oracle GoldenGate manager process.

    • Agent Username: The JAgent name as specified by the jAgent.username property in the config.properties file of the jAgent at the time of installation.

    • Agent Password: The password for the corresponding username.

    • Agent Port: The jAgent port as specified by the jagent.jmx.port property in the config.properties file of the jAgent. The recommended mode is OEM. If the agent mode is OEM, then you have to use jagent.rmi.port. If the agent mode is OGGMON, then you have to use jagent.jmx.port.

  5. Click Test Connection to GoldenGate to verify if the connection is working. The version and database type is automatically updated on successful connection.

2.7 Using a Custom Parameter File

Use this to upload an already existing or custom parameter files to Oracle GoldenGate Studio.

Oracle GoldenGate Studio supports uploading of existing parameter files for the Extract, Replicat, pump processes, and also for Oracle GoldenGate instance (manager and GLOBALS file).

To upload a parameter file, right-click the Extract or Replicat process and select Upload GoldenGate File menu item. In the Upload GoldenGate File dialog that is displayed, click Browse, select the particular parameter file to be uploaded, and click Open. Click OK to confirm the selection.

The corresponding values from the parameter file are updated in the Properties Inspector. All the values are available in Properties Inspector are parsed when a parameter file is uploaded.

Use this method only for online process and parameter level items xx.prm, and not for initial load process and obey level items xx.oby.

The comments in.prm file are not parsed in this method.

If Oracle GoldenGate Studio is not able to parse a particular parameter, then it does not stop parsing the custom parameter file and moves on to the next parameter. The Messages — Log is updated with the discarded parameter. You can view the Messages — Log by selecting the Window menu and then the Log menu . For errors such as Array Index Out of Bounds and Null Pointer Exception, the Oracle Diagnostic Logging (ODL) is updated instead of the Messages — Log.

Note:

  • Oracle GoldenGate Studio creates a new map whenever a parameter file is uploaded for the replicat process. Multiple new maps are created if you upload an updated version of the parameter file. To avoid this, delete any older maps associated with the particular parameter file before uploading the file again.

  • In Oracle GoldenGate Studio, mapping in Extract side is not supported when using custom parameter file. Do not use the parameter Target Definitions in Properties Inspector for any Extract process. Before online deployment, you must follow the steps to create manual map for the online deployment.

  • The maximum length for any parameter unit is 20 characters. You may receive an error if it exceeds the maximum length.

  • To view the updated trail file name, you should save the profile and reopen it.

  • Oracle GoldenGate Studio does not parse the MAPEXCEPTION parameter.

2.8 Using the Properties Inspector
