ABSTRACT
This chapter demonstrates installation of GoldenGate software, as well as some basic required logging configuration that must be added to source and target Oracle®databases. Also included are pre-installation steps, downloading software, and Oracle connectivity. GoldenGate is just another piece of software in some respects, and as with any piece of software, it has certain requirements before installing. GoldenGate obviously requires some databases, given that GoldenGate is primarily a replication tool, where a source database replicates or duplicates information, and its operations are replicated to at least one other target database. Begin the installation process by extracting the zip file on both source and target servers. Oracle Database redo logs store changes to metadata, such as a table creation in the form of a CREATE TABLE command. Redo logs in Oracle Database allow for transactional consistency and realtime recoverability in the case of local failure.
