Planning an Oracle GoldenGate Protection Group

An Oracle GoldenGate resource group can belong to only one protection group.

The Oracle GoldenGate geographic replication was developed with the script-based plug-in module of Disaster Recovery Framework, so it must comply with all rules of the script-based plug-in. For each protection group, you must provide a script-based plug-in configuration file on each node. In addition, the Oracle GoldenGate geographic replication brings in its own configuration file, which is needed only at registration.

The Oracle GoldenGate geographic replication creation is an automated process that takes the Oracle GoldenGate geographic configuration file as input and performs the necessary actions. The essential content of this file consists of the following key=value pairs.

Key
Explanation of Value
PS
Name of the partnership.
PG
Name of the protection group to create.
REPCOMP
Name of the replication component to create in this protection group.
REPRS
Name of the replication resource.
REPRG
Name of the replication resource group.
DESC
Description for the protection group.
CONFIGFILE
Absolute path for the script-based plug-in configuration file.
APPRG
Name of the application resource group.
REALGGRG
Resource group names that contain the Oracle GoldenGate resource on the clusters. If the resource group names on the clusters differ, provide a comma-separated list.
REALGGRS
Resource names configured as the Oracle GoldenGate resources. If the resource names on the clusters differ, provide a comma-separated list.
GGGROUPS
List of Oracle GoldenGate extracts or replicats forming the replication between the databases. The format for one group is clustername:group name. For multiple groups, provide a comma-separated list.
PINGTIME
Timeout for the extensive ping test. The default is 60 seconds if this variable is unset. This timeout is used at check_takeover where it must be verified if the remote site is unavailable.

Note - You must use the any keyword in the script-based plug-in configuration file for Oracle GoldenGate.

Note - The script-based plug-in configuration file must be in the same location on all cluster nodes on the primary and the secondary cluster.
