This document contains the release information for Oracle Fusion Middleware Release for Oracle GoldenGate.

Oracle recommends you review its contents before installing, or working with the product.

Before installing Oracle GoldenGate on a Windows system, install the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package (vcredist_x64.exe). These packages install runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries that are required for Oracle GoldenGate processes.

To download the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 package, go to:

To download the Visual C++ 2013 package, go to:

For SQL Server CDC Extract, you may need these software patches:

• For SQL Server 2012, 2014, and 2016, Microsoft has identified and fixed an issue where some UPDATE operations may be written incorrectly to a CDC staging table as an INSERT followed by a DELETE, rather than a DELETE/INSERT pair. This may cause downstream replication issues, such as a primary key violation, therefore Oracle recommends that you apply the Microsoft fix for this issue: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3030352

• For SQL Server 2016, prior to enabling supplemental logging, ensure that you have patched the SQL Server instance based on the following bug fix from Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3166120/fix-could-not-find-stored-procedure-sys.sp-cdc-parse-captured-column-list-error-in-sql-server-2016 If the instance is not correctly patched with the Microsoft fix, issuing ADD TRANDATA against a table for the database may incorrectly report that supplemental logging succeeded when it may not have; therefore no records are captured for that table.
