The following example script can be used to change a source GoldenGate deployment distribution path target address to reflect the new location of the receiver server after a Data Guard role transition. This example assumes the source GoldenGate deployment is configured in an MAA architecture with Data Guard, such that the distribution server can relocate between a primary and standby cluster.

#!/bin/bash

# change_path_target.sh - changes the target host of a GG Distribution Path when the target
#                         moves between primary/standby clusters.
# Example usage:
# ./change_path_target.sh <primary source VIP>:443 <standby source VIP>:443 <path target VIP> <path name> <deployment name> <credentials file>

SOURCE1=$1      # PRIMARY Distribution Server VIP
SOURCE2=$2      # STANDBY Distribution Server VIP
TARGET=$3       # Distribution path target VIP
DPATH=$4        # Distribution path name
DEP=$5          # Deployment name
ACCESS=$6       # access.cfg file containing the deployment credentials. Example contents:
                # user = "oggadmin:<password>"

CONNECT=0

#echo "#${i} - `date`:"
LOGFILE=/tmp/ogg_dpatch_change.txt

result=$(curl -si -K $ACCESS https://$SOURCE1/$DEP/distsrvr/services/v2/sources/$DPATH -X GET| grep HTTP |  awk '{print $2}')

  echo "`date` - Couldn't contact Distribution Server at $SOURCE1 Deployment $DEP ****" >> $LOGFILE
