Here’s a list of GLOBALS parameters.

Table 1 GLOBALS Parameters list and

Parameter Description
ALLOWINVISIBLEINDEXKEYS Allows Extract and Replicat to use columns that are part of an Oracle invisible index as a unique row identifier
ALLOWNULLABLEKEYS \| NOALLOWNULLABLEKEYS Changes the key selection logic so that it does not consider a nullable unique key as a viable candidate for uniquely identifying a row.
ALLOWNONVALIDATEDKEYS Allows Extract, Replicat, and other Oracle GoldenGate commands to use a non-validated primary key or an invalid key as a unique identifier. This parameter overrides the key selection criteria that is used by Oracle GoldenGate
CHECKPOINTTABLE Specifies the name of a default checkpoint table that can be used by all Replicat groups in one or more Oracle GoldenGate instances.
CRYPTOENGINE Use this parameter to select which cryptographic library the Oracle GoldenGate processes use to provide implementation of security primitives.
DDLTABLE Specifies the name of the DDL history table, if other than the default of GGS_DDL_HIST.
ENABLEMONITORING Enables the monitoring of Oracle GoldenGate instances from Oracle GoldenGate Monitor and collects trend data for Performance Metrics Service.
ENABLE_HEARTBEAT_TABLE \| DISABLE_HEARTBEAT_TABLE Specifies whether the Oracle GoldenGate process will be handling records from GG_HEARTBEAT table or not.
EXCLUDEWILDCARDOBJECTSONLY Forces the inclusion of non-wildcarded source objects specified in TABLE or MAP parameters when an exclusion parameter contains a wildcard that otherwise would exclude that object.
GGSCHEMA Specifies the name of the schema that contains Oracle GoldenGate database objects.
HEARTBEATTABLE Specifies a non-default name of the heartbeat table. The table name GG_HEARTBEAT is the default. This name used to denote the heartbeat table is used to create a seed and history table, GG_HEARTBEAT_SEED and GG_HEARTBEAT_HISTORY respectively.
LOGOUT_RECV_TIMEOUT Specifies the amount of time OCI client waits for a response from database server when releasing the connection.
MASTERKEYNAME Controls the name of the masterkey that Oracle GoldenGate processes in a deployment will use to retrieve the key from the wallet. I
MAXGROUPS Specifies the maximum number of process groups that can run in an instance of Oracle GoldenGate.
NAMECCSID Specifies the CCSID (coded character set identifier) of the database object names stored in the SQL catalog tables.
NAMEMATCH parameters Controls the behavior of fallback name mapping. Fallback name mapping is enabled by default when the source database is casesensitive and the target database support both case-sensitive and case-insensitive object names, such as Oracle and Db2 LUW.
NODUPMSGSUPPRESSION Prevents the automatic suppression of duplicate informational and warning messages in the report file, the error log, and the system log files.
OUTPUTFILEUMASK Specifies an octal umask for Oracle GoldenGate processes to use when creating all files.
SESSIONCHARSET Sets the database session character set for all database connections that are initiated by Oracle GoldenGate processes in the local Oracle GoldenGate instance.
TRAILBYTEORDER This is automatically handled by OracleGoldenGate.
USEIPV4 \| USEIPV6 Forces the use of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) by Oracle GoldenGate for TCP/IP connections.
