Description

Use the USEIPV4 parameter to force the use of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) by Oracle GoldenGate for TCP/IP connections. By default, Oracle GoldenGate uses IPv6 in dual-stack mode and this parameter forces the use of IPv4 only.

When USEIPV4 is used, the entire network in which Oracle GoldenGate operates must be IPv4 compatible.

Use the USEIPV6 parameter to force the use of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) by Oracle GoldenGate for TCP/IP connections. By default, Oracle GoldenGate uses IPv6 in dual-stack mode but falls back to IPv4, and only then to IPv6. USEIPV6 eliminates the IPv4 fallback step. The order of socket selection becomes:

• IPv6 dual-stack

• IPv6

When USEIPV6 is used, the entire network in which Oracle GoldenGate operates must be IPv6 compatible.
