1. Introduction to Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Hub:
Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (MA) is a powerful, REST-based deployment architecture designed to simplify, automate, and enhance the management of replication processes. Combined with Oracle RAC, this setup ensures high availability and scalability for your databases.
2. Why Use Oracle GoldenGate Microservices with RAC?
Deploying GoldenGate Microservices Hub on an Oracle RAC environment offers:✅ High availability with shared storage and Clusterware✅ Centralized, REST API-driven management for replication processes✅ Scalability across multiple RAC nodes✅ Seamless integration for modern database replication needs
3. Prerequisites for Setup
Before starting the GoldenGate Microservices Hub configuration, ensure the following:
Oracle RAC environment (active nodes)
ACFS (Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System) available for shared storage
XAG (Oracle Extensible Availability Grid) software
Latest Oracle GoldenGate binaries
Proper network configuration for deployment
4. Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Hub Configuration – 6 Phases
Phase 1: ACFS Mount Point Creation
Configure the shared ACFS mount points to store Oracle GoldenGate binaries and deployments.
Ensure all RAC nodes can access the ACFS mount point.
Command Example:
mkdir /u01/gg_shared chown oracle:oinstall /u01/gg_shared
Phase 2: XAG Software Installation
Install the XAG software, which enables Clusterware to manage GoldenGate resources seamlessly.
Verify XAG installation using the agctl command.
Phase 3: GoldenGate Software Installation
Download and install the Oracle GoldenGate Microservices binaries onto the ACFS mount point.
Ensure all nodes in the RAC environment can use the shared installation.
Steps:
Extract the GoldenGate installer.
Run the installer as the Oracle user.
Phase 4: Create GoldenGate Deployment
Use the GoldenGate configuration assistant to create and configure a Microservices Deployment.
Verify the REST APIs for management and deployment are operational.
Example Command:
./oggca.sh
Phase 5: Create Database Service
Create a database service for GoldenGate replication purposes.
Register this service with the RAC environment.
Phase 6: Clusterware Configuration using agctl Commands
Use XAG's agctl commands to register GoldenGate as a Clusterware-managed resource.
This ensures high availability for GoldenGate Microservices Hub on RAC.
5. Conclusion
Congratulations! 🎉 You have successfully configured the Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Hub on an Oracle RAC Database. By following these 6 phases, you now have a high-availability and scalable GoldenGate environment ready for production use.
