One Just Getting By

Parallel Replicat can scale massively, but only if your workload allows it. Here’s how it really works under the hood. For a very detail walkthrought thorubleshoot and explanation, please visit Sourav’s blog post: https://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/oracle-goldengate-parallel-replicat-performance-tuning Oracle #GoldenGate #DataIntegration #Database DataReplication #HighAvailability…

GoldenGate Containers Automation brings together Docker orchestration and API-driven workflows to deliver a fully repeatable, end-to-end data replication environment. From tearing down and rebuilding the entire stack to configuring databases, enabling replication, and validating data consistency, every step is streamlined into a cohesive automated flow. The process doesn’t stop at setup it…

Modern data platforms demand precision, control, and predictability and Oracle GoldenGate 26ai delivers exactly that with a redesigned approach to DDL filtering. Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) 26ai introduced a significant behavioral change in how DDL (Data Definition Language) operations are filtered during replication. This change replaces the traditional signaturebased filtering with a new tagbased…

Introduction One of the most common challenges I see during Classic-to-Microservices GoldenGate migrations is what to do with PUMP processes. In Classic architectures, it is standard practice to have multiple PUMP processes reading from the same local trail and applying different MAP statements with COLMAP transformations per target, each pump serving a different downstream system with different…

If you are upgrading from Oracle GoldenGate Classic Architecture to Microservices Architecture and rely on complex filtering or transformation logic in your Classic data pumps, you may have to reposition that logic within components that are fully supported in the Microservices Architecture. While Microservices does not implement every legacy pump side filtering capability in exactly the same…

In the vast and ever-expanding world of Big Data, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of acronyms and technical jargon. But understanding one fundamental concept can dramatically impact the efficiency, speed, and cost of your data operations: data formats. Think of data formats like different filing systems for a massive library. Some systems are great for quickly adding new books, others are…

There are many forms of intelligence we talk about in business and in life technical intelligence, emotional intelligence, strategic intelligence. But the one that has quietly become the most important to me, both personally and professionally, is moral intelligence. It’s not always discussed openly, yet it influences everything: how we lead, how we treat people, how we make decisions when no…

Working with Oracle GoldenGate’s REST APIs unlocks a powerful level of automation and integration — but figuring out the exact endpoints, payloads, and headers for each call can sometimes be challenging.Our official documentation is comprehensive but generated directly from the code, which means it’s technically complete, though not always intuitive for new users or non-developers. In this post,…

Introduction In today’s data-driven world, protecting sensitive information during replication is crucial for compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and PCI-DSS. Oracle GoldenGate provides powerful transformation capabilities that allow you to mask sensitive data at the replication level, ensuring that personally identifiable information (PII) never reaches non-production or other…

The Problem: Short Session Timeouts If you’ve been working with Oracle GoldenGate’s web-based Administration Service or Service Manager, you’ve likely encountered the frustrating 30-minute session timeout. This default setting can be particularly problematic when: Performing long-running maintenance tasks Conducting troubleshooting sessions that require extended analysis Training new team…

We are pleased to announce that GoldenGate Container images for commercial customers are now available on the Oracle Container Registry (OCR). This release is an important milestone: it provides customers with quarterly, production-ready GoldenGate builds that can be easily deployed in modern containerizedenvironments. No more manual packaging or custom builds, just pull, run, and…

Why Logdump Matters Every Oracle GoldenGate deployment depends on trail files, the immutable record of changes moving between systems. While most admins focus on Extract and Replicat parameters, the real detective work often happens in Logdump, a command-line powerhouse purpose-built for inspecting, filtering, and validating trail files. For GoldenGate administrators, mastering Logdump isn’t…

Existe uma frase que ecoa em minha cabeça a anos e referenciada por um grade sábio amigo: “Dê forças a um fraco que ele vira um medíocre.”Por trás dela, há uma crítica à forma como o poder, a oportunidade ou até a confiança podem ser usados de maneira limitada quando não vêm acompanhados de preparo, consciência e responsabilidade. Força sem preparo A força, seja no sentido literal (recursos,…

When running Oracle GoldenGate in production, it’s essential to keep track of how many operations are being replicated across tables. Fortunately, GoldenGate Microservices provides a REST API that makes this task easy and scriptable. In this example, we use a simple curl command to send the STATS request to an Extract process, asking for hourly statistics. By combining it with jq, we can…

I’ve worn many hats in my career: employee, consultant, and entrepreneur. And through each stage, I’ve discovered one constant: corporate politics are real. When I was younger, I thought politics were inherently negative, something toxic, something to avoid. If I just focused on performance, I figured the results would speak for themselves. But I learned quickly that ignoring politics doesn’t…

Over the years, GoldenGate has become the gold standard for real-time, reliable, and mission-critical data replication. But what are the most common, high-value use cases where it truly shines?
