Oracle GoldenGate 26ai: Advanced Configuration — Lesson 1: Advanced Instantiation, Integrated Capture, and Downstream Designs

Technical Scope

• instantiation and source SCN alignment
• Integrated Extract and registration
• downstream mining and source impact
• trails, checkpoints, and initial consistency

Instructor Demonstration

Demonstrate instantiation and source SCN alignment inside a zero-downtime migration that evolves into active-active replication with controlled conflict policy, then capture the exact configuration, command, transaction, report, or code evidence that proves the result.

Applied Workshop

Implement a controlled workshop covering Integrated Extract and registration and downstream mining and source impact, then test a failure or exception involving trails, checkpoints, and initial consistency.

1. Confirm environment, identity, data, dependencies, and expected result.
2. Complete the product-specific implementation or analysis.
3. Capture commands, configuration, output, logs, transactions, or reports.
4. Explain the operational, security, performance, or business trade-off.

Validation Standard

The Advanced Instantiation, Integrated Capture, and Downstream Designs result must be reproducible, traceable to approved inputs, and consistent with the expected Oracle product behavior.

• The intended target and ownership are verified.
• The result is supported by reproducible evidence.
• Security, performance, reliability, and support impact are reviewed.
• Unexpected behavior is investigated before acceptance.

Failure Analysis

Diagnose issues in instantiation and source SCN alignment, Integrated Extract and registration, downstream mining and source impact, or trails, checkpoints, and initial consistency without making an unverified production change.

Learners isolate the smallest proven cause, apply a reversible correction, rerun validation, and record the preventive action.
