Oracle GoldenGate 19c: Fundamentals for Oracle — Lesson 1: GoldenGate Architecture, Processes, Checkpoints, Trails, and Prerequisites

Learning Objectives

• Explain the architecture, workflow, or business purpose behind Manager, Extract, Data Pump, Replicat, trails, and checkpoints.
• Apply source and target database prerequisites, logging, keys, and privileges and Classic and Integrated processing concepts in a controlled scenario.
• Validate outcomes and troubleshoot risks involving installation directories, parameter files, credentials, ports, and baseline.

Detailed Topics

• Manager, Extract, Data Pump, Replicat, trails, and checkpoints
• source and target database prerequisites, logging, keys, and privileges
• Classic and Integrated processing concepts
• installation directories, parameter files, credentials, ports, and baseline

Instructor Demonstration

Demonstrate Manager, Extract, Data Pump, Replicat, trails, and checkpoints within a transactional Oracle schema replicated to a reporting target with controlled initial load and recoverable operations, then capture the exact configuration, command, transaction, report, model, query, code, or process evidence that proves the result for lesson 1.

Hands-On Exercise

Implement a controlled exercise covering source and target database prerequisites, logging, keys, and privileges and Classic and Integrated processing concepts, then introduce and resolve an exception involving installation directories, parameter files, credentials, ports, and baseline while preserving before-and-after evidence.

1. Confirm the environment, identities, inputs, dependencies, risks, and expected outcome.
2. Complete the course-specific configuration, development, analysis, or process workflow.
3. Capture settings, commands, data, outputs, logs, reports, screenshots, calculations, or test results.
4. Compare the observed result with acceptance criteria and document corrective action.

Scenario Analysis

• Identify the technical or business decision that must be made.
• Compare valid approaches and their security, performance, reliability, cost, compliance, and support trade-offs.
• Define rollback, recovery, ownership, communication, and evidence requirements.

Troubleshooting Guidance

Diagnose issues across Manager, Extract, Data Pump, Replicat, trails, and checkpoints, source and target database prerequisites, logging, keys, and privileges, Classic and Integrated processing concepts, installation directories, parameter files, credentials, ports, and baseline without making an unverified production change. Separate symptoms from causes, gather evidence, test the smallest reversible correction, rerun validation, and record preventive action.

Validation Checklist

• The requirement, scope, inputs, dependencies, and expected result are documented.
• The result is reproducible and supported by course-specific evidence.
• Normal, boundary, failure, security, performance, and operational conditions are reviewed.
• Exceptions, rollback, ownership, and the next improvement priority are recorded.

Lesson Outcome

Learners can apply GoldenGate Architecture, Processes, Checkpoints, Trails, and Prerequisites in a realistic Oracle GoldenGate 19c: Fundamentals for Oracle scenario and validate the result with documented evidence.
