Oracle GoldenGate 12c database replication workshop

Learn Oracle GoldenGate 12c Database Replication: A Practical Workshop

Ready to master Oracle GoldenGate 12c for robust database replication? This hands-on workshop provides the practical skills to build and manage your own database replication environment. You'll gain experience replicating data between two Oracle servers, using a complete, pre-configured environment on your PC.

This course is designed for professionals who want to test Oracle GoldenGate in a realistic setting. You'll follow step-by-step instructions, utilizing VirtualBox virtual machines with Oracle 12c multitenant databases, to replicate a database schema and keep it synchronized with the source.

What you'll learn:

• Setting up Oracle GoldenGate 12c: Detailed instructions for installation and configuration, including using VirtualBox and OraLinux virtual machines.
• Basic Database Replication: Replicating data from a single table using Oracle GoldenGate.
• Advanced Schema Replication: Propagating all transactions from the source to the target database at the schema level (all tables and sequences). This is crucial for zero-downtime database upgrades.
• Zero-Downtime Database Upgrades: Implement a strategy for upgrading to new database releases with minimal interruption, maintaining two environments in sync.
• Disaster Recovery (DR) & Test Environments: Utilize replicated databases for reporting, quality assurance, and as a readily available DR database copy.
• Oracle GoldenGate Functionality: In-depth exploration of key features and administration considerations.
• Supplemental Login: Learn how to configure and manage supplemental logins for secure replication.
• Multitenant Oracle 12c Management: Practical guidance on managing Oracle 12c multitenant databases in a replication context.
• Logging & Transactional Processing: Understand crucial aspects of logging files and transactional processing for reliable replication.
• Point-in-Time Replication: Learn how to copy a schema consistent to a specific point in time using SCN (System Change Number) for creating identical target databases.

Course Features:

• Practical Laboratory: A complete, ready-to-use lab environment for ongoing practice and testing.
• Step-by-Step Guides: Clear, detailed instructions for every stage of the process.
• Scripts & Logs: Access to scripts and log files for troubleshooting and analysis.
• Quizzes & Checks: Reinforce your learning with interactive assessments.
• Dictionary of Terms & Concepts: A comprehensive glossary of key terms.
• Troubleshooting Guide: A practical guide to resolving common issues.

Replication Applicability:

While this workshop focuses on Oracle 12c and OraLinux, the replication principles are applicable to various environments, including:

• SQL Server to Oracle
• Oracle to DB2
• Replicating data between different Oracle versions (e.g., Oracle 11g to Oracle 12c) with or without multitenant architecture.

This comprehensive course provides the knowledge and practical skills to implement and manage a robust Oracle GoldenGate replication solution.
