This Oracle GoldenGate 12c: Fundamentals for Oracle training focuses on Oracle-to-Oracle
database replication. Expert Oracle University instructors will deep dive into the Oracle GoldenGate
product suite, walking you through various product features. Oracle GoldenGate 12.3 for Oracle
introduces the Microservices architecture, which allows for browser-based, REST interaction with
Oracle GoldenGate. Both Classic and Microservices architectures are covered by the course, which
starts by explaining replication concepts using the familiar, Classic architecture. After solid
replication foundations and concepts are explained and explored, the course delves into
Microservices, and students are made quickly familiar with the new architecture. Hands-on practices
help solidify the theoretical knowledge acquired during the lessons. Students will implement end-to-
end replication environments using both architectures, testing the established replication channels
with real data, to verify that replication is taking place.
Learn How To:
Install Oracle GoldenGate on Linux and Windows platforms
Issue GGSCI commands
Configure, start, stop and monitor Change Capture and Delivery processes
Manage Extract trails and files using Data Pump and logdump
Create parameter files to transform data
Manage multiple Oracle GoldenGate instances
Create, configure, manage and monitor replication environments using the Microservices
Architecture
Benefits to You
Integrate your organization's disparate data across heterogeneous databases to facilitate
sophisticated analysis and faster decision-making
Become more efficient at configuring and implementing Oracle GoldenGate. You'll learn to
install both Classic and Microservices Oracle GoldenGate architectures and prepare the
source and target environments.
Enrolling in this course teaches you how to use the Oracle GoldenGate command line
interface (GGSCI) efficiently, as well as the new browser-based interface.
You'll learn GoldenGate configuration processes.
You'll also develop the knowledge and skills to configure Change Capture (Extract), Change
Delivery (Replicat) and Initial Load. You'll learn how to extract trails and files using Extract
Pump, create parameter files and manage Oracle GoldenGate instances.
Advantages and limitations of the newly introduced Microservices architecture will be
analyzed in detail.
Special consideration will be given to unidirectional replication and capture/apply of both
DML and DDL statements.
Explore New Features in 12.3
Features new to 12c, such as Parallel Replicat, and support for Database Sharding are highlighted
along the way. This course is based on Oracle GoldenGate version 12.3.0.1. Please note that the
labs are done in Linux.
