1.50 ADD RMTTRAIL

Use ADD RMTTRAIL to create a trail for online processing on a remote system and:

  • Assign a maximum file size.

  • Associate the trail with an Extract group.

In the parameter file, specify a RMTHOST entry before any RMTTRAIL entries to identify the remote system and TCP/IP port for the Manager process.

Note:

The RMTTRAIL size (Target Trail) must be greater than or equal to (<=) the EXTTRAIL size (Source Trail), due to trail encryption requirements.

Syntax

ADD RMTTRAIL trail_name, EXTRACT group_name
[, MEGABYTES n]
[, SEQNO n]
trail_name

The relative or fully qualified path name of the trail. The actual trail name can contain only two characters. Oracle GoldenGate appends this name with a nine-digit sequence number whenever a new file is created. For example, a trail named ./dirdat/tr would have files named ./dirdat/tr000000001, ./dirdat/tr000000002, and so forth.

group_name

The name of the Extract group to which the trail is bound. Only one primary Extract process can write data to a remote trail.

MEGABYTES n

The maximum size, in megabytes, of a file in the trail. The default is 500.

SEQNO n

Specifies that the first file in the trail will start with the specified trail sequence number. Do not include any zero padding. For example, to start at sequence 3 of a trail named tr, specify SEQNO 3. The actual file would be named /ggs/dirdat/tr000000003. This option can be used during troubleshooting when Replicat needs to be repositioned to a certain trail sequence number. It eliminates the need to alter Replicat to read the required sequence number.

Example

Example 1   
ADD RMTTRAIL dirdat\aa, EXTRACT finance, MEGABYTES 200
