What is Oracle GoldenGate?
Oracle strategic Middleware software product used for data extraction and replication
– Use-cases: data/service high-availabillity, “zero-downtime” upgrades/migrations,
easy fallback (minimize risk)
Moves only committed transactions across TCP/IP network without Oracle Net
Services
– In contrast to Oracle Streams…
Supports
– asynchronous data transfer (DML, DDL)
– heterogeneous sources and targets (databases, operating systems)
– different extraction, propagation and apply methods
– different topologies, mappings, transformations, filtering, error handling, …

Why Oracle GoldenGate?
Oracle Streams is deprecated in the Oracle 12c version (but still supported!)
– https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/UPGRD/deprecated.htm
According to the Oracle GoldenGate Statement of Direction
– http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/goldengate/overview/statement-of-
direction-gg-132120.pdf
Beginning with the version 12.1.0.2, the non-CDB architecture is also deprecated
– As of now, Streams is not supported with the new CDB architecture
Oracle Streams continues to be supported but will not be enhanced to
support any new database features in future releases. This means that
Streams will continue to support exactly what it supports today (11.2)
in future releases. It also means that any new database features, data
types, or capabilities will not be supported by Streams.

Primary Extract Group: Capture
Primary Extract can run in either
– Classic Capture mode (all database versions)
– Integrated Capture mode (full support: 11.2.0.3+)
Extracts and optionally filters/transforms the transactions from the source database
– Only for configured objects
Many Extracts per source database can operate at the same time
Only committed transactions (CSN) will be propagated to the target system
– Optionally written to a local trail (recommended)
– Without a local trail, the primary Extract send the data to the target system
– Not committed transactions will be discarded from memory or dirtmp directory

Primary Extract Group: Classic Capture
Classic Capture mode
– Traditional mode, reads directly Oracle database redo logs
– Able to mine redo logs in ASM (two methods)
– All database versions supported
With some restrictions. For example no support for:
– BASIC, OLTP, Exadata Hybrid Columnar
compression
– PDML on RAC database
– CDB architecture!
DDL, TDE support – no out-of-the box support
Not transparent to RAC configuration changes (#threads)

Primary Extract Group: Integrated Capture
Integrated Capture mode
– Interacts with the database logmining server
– Required to capture data from a CDB architecture
– Fully transparent with RAC, TDE, ASM
– Full support for databases 11.2.0.3+
– Source database 11.2.0.4+ does not require
supplementary objects for DDL support
– Supports more complex data types than classic
capture
– Integrated capture deployments
• Local or a downstream deployment
The best choice for most deployments

Secondary Extract Group (Data Pump): Propagation
Optional but recommended component
– Reads the local trail and propagates the data to the
remote trail (via target collector process)
– Data can be transferred “as is” (PASSTHROUGH)
– Optionally filters/transforms the transactions from the source database
(NOPASSTHROUGH)
– Isolates the primary extract from TCP/IP timeouts
The network transfer can be optionally encrypted
– Not necessary, in case the trail is already encrypted

Replicat Process: Apply
The Replicat process can run in either
– Classic Replicat mode (nonintegrated) - all database versions
– Coordinated Replicat mode (nonintegrated) - all database versions
– Integrated Replicat mode – database versions 11.2.0.4+
The Replicat process reads the remote trail, reconstructs
the SQL and applies them to the target database
– Optionally filters/transforms the data
The application of the data can be optionally delayed (DEFERAPPLYINTERVAL
parameter)

Replicat Group: Classic/Coordinated Mode
Classic Replicat
– Constructs SQL statements from the trails
and applies the SQL through OCI
– Supported for all database versions
– Transactions are applied sequentially
(single-threaded)
Coordinated Replicat
– Transactions are applied in parallel (multi-threaded)
– There is 1 coordinator plus
many apply threads
– Supported for all database
versions
– GoldenGate 12c required

Replicat Group: Integrated Mode
Integrated Replicat
– Supported for target database
versions 11.2.0.4+
– Constructs LCRs and transmits
DMLs to the database inbound
server
Some changes (e.g. DDL) are not supported directly by the inbound server
– In those cases the Replicat process disconnects from the inbound server and
executes the transaction in direct apply mode through OCI
With many transactions applied in direct apply mode it might be necessary to switch
to nonintegrated Replicat

Extract must operate in integrated mode

Replicat can connect and apply only to one PDB (one Apply/PDB, connect using

Oracle GoldenGate Topologies
18 21.05.2015 Data Replication With Oracle GoldenGate - Looking Behind The Scenes
Oracle GoldenGate Topologies
Active-Passive
– Data replication only in one direction
– Only one set of primary Extract, Data Pump and Replicat groups
Active/Standby
– Additional inactive primary Extract, Data Pump and Replicat groups
– Switchover: Stop one set of process Start the inactive one
19 21.05.2015 Data Replication With Oracle GoldenGate - Looking Behind The Scenes
Oracle GoldenGate Topologies
Active-Active
– Data replication in both directions
– Two active sets of primary Extract, Data Pump and Replicat groups
– With some restrictions: e.g.: DDL-support restricted to two databases with identical
metadata
Additionally broadcasting, cascading, consolidation is possible

Core Messages
GoldenGate is a very powerful replication software framework
For most deployments the integrated Extract/Replicat is the best choice
Supplemental logging generates more undo and redo
– In some cases you need even to supplementally log all columns!
Script all the configuration steps
– Very useful if you need to re-setup the whole environment
You don’t need to replace your current Streams installation ASAP by Oracle
GoldenGate , but
– Streams is deprecated in the version 12c and will not be enhanced in future
releases
– There is a framework to ease the migration from Streams to GoldenGate
(streams2ogg)
– As of now Streams is not supported with CDB architecture
– For new projects it might be a better choice (licensing)!
