Oracle GoldenGate 11g: Fundamentals for Oracle

The Oracle GoldenGate 11g: Fundamentals for Oracle Edition 2 course focuses on Oracle-to-Oracle database replication. This course introduces the Oracle GoldenGate architecture as well as various product features. Participants learn to install Oracle GoldenGate and prepare the source and target environments. The course teaches how to use the Oracle GoldenGate command line interface (GGSCI) efficiently. Participants configure Change Capture (Extract), Change Delivery (Replicat), and Initial Load. They learn to extract trails and files using Data Pump, create parameter files, and to manage Oracle GoldenGate instances. Capture of both DML and DDL will be configured for both uni- and bi-directional replication.

Learn 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

This course is based on Oracle Golden Gate version 11.2.1.
