- If you decide to use monitoring software later, then stop all Oracle GoldenGate processes, including Manager. Then add JDK 1.7 in PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables and then start all Oracle GoldenGate processes, along with Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent.

5.2 Version 12.1.3.0.0 — July 2014

11g Users Not Migrated to Version 12.1.3 After Upgrade

After upgrading to Oracle GoldenGate Monitor 12c (12.1.3), Oracle GoldenGate Monitor 11g users cannot immediately log in to it. You must create users and assign privileges by using the Oracle WebLogic Administration Console. For more information, see "Managing Users from the WebLogic Administration Console" in Installing and Configuring Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Server.

T2P Cannot be Used with Compact Domains

The test-to-production (T2P) process is supported only for Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Server in an expanded domain. It is not supported for compact domains since these domains are not intended for production environments. Expanded domains are used for Oracle databases whereas compact domains are used for non-Oracle databases, for example MySQL and SQL Server.

Views Created in Oracle GoldenGate 11g Do Not Appear

After upgrading to Oracle GoldenGate Monitor 12c (12.1.3), as described in Upgrading to Oracle GoldenGate Monitor 12.1.3, views created in version 11g will not appear. Only users who have access to Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent will have access to views and solutions. Additionally, users granted the Administrator role cannot see 11g views created by other users.

To see views, add the 11g users in WebLogic Server as described in "Managing Users from the WebLogic Administration Console", and then log in to Oracle GoldenGate Monitor.

Oracle GoldenGate Monitor 12c (12.1.3) Does Not Support 32-Bit or TRU 64

Linux HugePages are Not Supported

Issues With Solution Discovery in Monitor UI when Core Setup Changes

e
When you change the core setup, the existing solution or partial solution remains visible on the UI. Due to this, the solution for the new setup is not discovered in the UI. When the core setup changes, a new solution should be displayed in the UI, not the solution or partial solution that appeared before the setup change. To work around this issue, do the following:

1. Stop the process first, then delete them.

2. Wait until all process, the database, and trial files are removed from the instance. part as well as from the solution part of the Monitor UI.

3. Stop Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent.

When UNKNOWN database is displayed in the UI, the solution is not discovered properly by the UI.

1. Add all the processes.

2. Start all the processes.

3. Start Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Agent.
