GoldenGate 12.1.2.0 Install/Upgrade on OEL 6.4 x86-64

It was about time that I started working with the new release. I’ve had to upgrade my current 11g install, and since I’m on a documentation high these days, I put something together to help anyone else who wants to go through the install.

My current install is OGG 11.2.1.0.13 on Linux 64bit running against an 11.2.0.3 databases.

Vamanos!

Installation

1. Make a copy of your existing GoldenGate install folder after stopping all processes.

To start, I’ll only install the GoldenGate with DB11g since thats the only instance I have installed on this server at the moment.

NewImage
3. Pick your installation directories. I’ve entered the same location for the software install as my existing GG11g directory to perform an upgrade.

NewImage

4. Click “yes” on this prompt. I think I know what I am doing!

NewImage
5. Review changes and click “Install”.

NewImage
6. Progress is good! If you are prompted whether the directory is not empty, simply select “yes” and proceed.

NewImage
7. Awesome!

NewImage

Upgrade

8. Review the installation, and validate the binaries startup successfully.

12. Ok, my mistake :)

Modify the parameter file to specify format RELEASE 11.2 or issue ETROLLOVER prior to restart.

12.1. Option #1: Let’s make the correct parameter change and try again. Add the following to the EXTTRAIL ./dirdat/lt in the extracts parameter file.
EXTTRAIL ./dirdat/lt, FORMAT RELEASE 11.2
12.2. Option #2: Start a new trail sequence by issuing a roll-over command.

13. Excellent!! Now we are done with the installation of 12c and upgrade of 11g to 12c!
Hopefully this has been educational for you. I hope to dive further into some of the new features in 12c.

Cheers!

GoldenGate Veridata 11.2.1 Agent Installation

With my previous post, I completed the Server component install and moving ahead I’d like to proceed with the agent installs. The Veridata server communicates with the hosts (that are running on each target and source servers) via the Veridata Agents. There are basically two types of agents; Java based and the C-Agent. The latter is designed for NonStop SQL/MP and Enscribe databases running on the NonStop platform.

Components:
NewImage

For this example, I will install the Java based agent.

Installation

1. Create the Tablespace, User, and Grant Privileges.

SQL> create tablespace ggate_data datafile '/u003/oradata/gvddvs01/ggate_ata.dbf' size 500m autoextend on;

Tablespace created.

SQL> create role veridata_role;

Role created.

SQL> grant create session to veridata_role;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> grant create table to veridata_role;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> grant create view to veridata_role;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> grant create procedure to veridata_Role;

SQL> grant create synonym to veridata_role;

Grant succeeded.
SQL> create user ggate identified by ggate default tablespace ggate_data;

User created.

SQL> grant veridata_role to ggate;

Grant succeeded.

SQL> grant unlimited tablespace to veridata_role;

Grant succeeded.

2. Create directories

greed101:(oracle) [green] $ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u001/app/oracle/product/11.2.0
greed101:(oracle) [green] $ mkdir /u001/app/oracle/product/veridata_agent

4. Create a copy of the agent.properties.sample file as agent.properties and edit the files highlighted.

# Copyright (c) 2011, 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
# The server.port property is the port where the Veridata agent listens

5. Set the JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME parameter, and start the agent.

greed101:(oracle) [green] $ ./agent.sh start

6. Check the agent run log

GoldenGate Veridata 11.2.1 Server Installation

Today, I’d like to share my experience with a tool that I’ve used infrequently with GoldenGate.

Veridata is Oracle’s answer to Data Validation for environments where a replication technology is utilized. In other words, the tool is agnostic (but partial) to a set Database vendors. You can install it on a variety of platforms, and a few database types.

Components:
NewImage

Installation

1. Download and unzip the media from eDelivery.

[oracle@as-sandbox-n1 installs]$ cd veridata/
[oracle@as-sandbox-n1 veridata]$ ls -lhtr
total 147M
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 145M Nov  8  2012 GoldenGate_Veridata_redhatAS40_x64.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 216K Dec  4  2012 ogg_veridata_relnotes_11.2.1.0.0.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall  95K Dec  4  2012 ogg_veridata_relnotes_11.2.1.0.0.doc
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall  39K Dec  4  2012 ogg-veridata-readme-11.2.1.0.0.doc
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall  15K Dec  4  2012 ogg-veridata-readme-11.2.1.0.0.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 1.3M Oct 24 14:26 veridata-install.log

2. Invoke the bash script to start the installer.

[oracle@as-sandbox-n1 veridata]$ ./GoldenGate_Veridata_redhatAS40_x64.sh 
Unpacking JRE ...
Starting Installer ...

3. Click “Next”.

NewImage

4. Pick your installation directory and click “Next”.

NewImage

5. On the ports section, click “Next”.

NewImage

6. Leave the defaults and click “Next”.

NewImage

7. Enter at the account username and password. This will be used to install the tables in the repository database.

NewImage

8. Of course we will chose “Oracle” :)

NewImage

9. Confirm the Oracle Home (Veridata Home) location.

NewImage

10. Select and Instance and click Continue. This article assumes that the Veridata installation is on the same server as its intended repository.

NewImage

11. I will let the installer create a new user for me.

NewImage

12. Enter the DBA

NewImage

13. On the next screen, enter the oracle database user where the Veridata objects will be installed.

NewImage

14. Enter the default, and temp tablespace for the above user.

NewImage

15.  Check the box if you want it to start Veridata after the installation.

NewImage

16. Review the settings and click “Next”.

NewImage

17. Progress is always good.

NewImage

18. Awesome! All done.

NewImage

At this point, we can log into the Veridata Server successfully!

NewImage

In subsequent posts, I will discuss the other aspects such as the Veridata Agent install, Configuration, etc.

Cheers!
