1.2 How Do I Get Started?

Oracle recommends that you familiarize yourself with Concepts and Terminology and Relating Properties Inspector Options to Oracle GoldenGate Commands and Parameters so that you have an understanding of what you will encounter in the product and documentation.

You can follow the basic steps outlined in the following table to create and deploy your replications:


Roadmap of Tasks

Begin by adding new database and GoldenGate connections to your Global Resource Library, see Understanding Projects.

Use the wizards to create a Project, Replication Solution, and Deployment Profile. By default each wizard will invoke the next. Solutions define the replicat process. The Solution and Deployment Profile wizards provide you with pre-configured templates, see Understanding Solutions.

Solution objects own Mapping groups, which describe the logical view of the replication process. Use AutoMap or manually map schema, table, and column mappings then assign them to your replication paths, see Understanding Mapping Groups.

Create a Mapping Groups and assign to the appropriate replication paths. You can reuse Solution Mapping Groups in multiple replication paths for that solution and Global Mapping Groups across in multiple replication paths across Project, see Understanding Mapping Groups.

Add, remove, and fine tune any Oracle GoldenGate option or parameter, see Using the Properties Inspector.

Deploy the Solution online to live Oracle GoldenGate instances or generate the parameter and obey files locally for manual deployment, see, Understanding Deployment Profiles

Define any additional physical resources and assign them to your deployment profiles via drag and drop from the Global Resource Library to the Deployment Profile diagram, see Understanding Deployment Profiles

Solutions also own one or more Deployment Profiles which describe the physical attributes of a particular replicat deployment. You can create multiple deployment profiles. For example, separate profiles for development, testing and production for a single Solution, see Understanding Deployment Profiles

Start, stop, and monitor all physical processes, see Monitoring

View deployment history information, see Understanding Deployment Profiles

Export solutions and mappings to XML files that can be imported by other Oracle GoldenGate Studio users, see Using the Projects Navigator.
