convchk
Converts checkpoint files to a newer version.

defgen
Generates data definitions and is referenced by Oracle GoldenGate processes when source and target tables have dissimilar definitions.

extract
Performs capture from database tables or transaction logs or receives transaction data from a vendor access module.

ggsci
User interface to Oracle GoldenGate for issuing commands and managing parameter files.

logdump
A utility for viewing and saving information stored in extract trails or files.

mgr
(Manager) Control process for resource management, control and monitoring of Oracle GoldenGate processes, reporting, and routing of requests through the GGSCI interface

oggerr
Manages Oracle GoldenGate error messages..

replicat
Applies data to target database tables.


reverse
A utility that reverses the order of transactional operations, so that Replicat can be used to back out changes from target tables, restoring them to a previous state.


dirdat

The default location for Oracle GoldenGate trail files and extract files that are created by Extract processes to store extracted data for further processing by the Replicat process or another application or utility. Written in internal Oracle GoldenGate format.

File name format is a user-defined two-character prefix followed by either a six-digit sequence number (trail files) or the user-defined name of the associated Extract process group (extract files).

Do not edit these files.

Examples:

rt000001

finance


dirdmp
Contains trace, or dump, files that support the internal activity logging mechanism.


dirprm
The default location for Oracle GoldenGate parameter files created by Oracle GoldenGate users to store run-time parameters for Oracle GoldenGate process groups or utilities. Written in external ASCII format. File name format is group name/user-defined name.prm or mgr.prm .

These files may be edited to change Oracle GoldenGate parameter values after stopping the process. They can be edited directly from a text editor or by using the EDIT PARAMS command in GGSCI.

Examples:

defgen.prm

finance.prm




dirrpt

The default location for process report files created by Extract, Replicat, and Manager processes to report statistical information relating to a processing run. Written in external ASCII format.

File name format is group name+sequence number.rpt where sequence number is a sequential number appended to aged files.

Do not edit these files.

Examples:

fin2.rpt

mgr4.rpt




To install on UNIX, the person who installs Oracle GoldenGate must have read and write privileges on the Oracle GoldenGate installation directory.

The Oracle GoldenGate Extract, Replicat, and Manager processes must operate as an operating system user that has privileges to read, write, and delete files and subdirectories in the Oracle GoldenGate directory. In addition, the Manager process requires privileges to control the other Oracle GoldenGate processes.

On 64-bit Sun Solaris, Oracle GoldenGate requires LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the 32-bit Oracle libraries. You will be instructed to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in Section 2.3, "Setting Library Paths for Dynamic Builds on UNIX".


Oracle databases must be in ARCHIVELOG mode so that Extract can process the log files.
