Viewing parameter files for online Oracle migrations

When an online migration gets into Needs Attention state due to a failed migration job using the GoldenGate Service integration, then you may choose to view and edit the Extract and Replicat parameter files and then resume the online Oracle migration.

Note

This feature is applicable only when you use the inbuilt GoldenGate.

Job Details - Phases

You can view the GoldenGate process (Extract, Replicat) parameter files if they have been created to set up replication for your online migration. On a migration resource detail page, you can click Jobs, then the job name, then Phases, and see the phases of the job that have failed.

Click the View parameter files option to view the current replication (Extract, Replicat) parameter files.

Note

You may or may not be able to view both the Extract, Replicat parameter files depending on the current state of the replication setup for your online migration. You can view the parameter file during or after the Prepare phase is concluded. If the parameter files are not created, then you cannot view them. Similarly, you can view the Replicat parameter files during or after the Prepare replication target phase.
The Parameter files panel displays the parameter files currently in use.
  • Details such as Type and creation details.
  • Click View parameter file to view the Extract or Replicat files in read-only mode.
You can modify the relevant GoldenGate parameter file for the failed phase.
Note

This capability is applicable only for some phases wherein the file is displayed only if the GoldenGate Extract or Replicat is available.

After modifying the parameter files, resume the online migration in this failed state.
