3.2 Installing Oracle GoldenGate for Distributed Applications and Analytics

The Oracle GoldenGate for Distributed Applications and Analytics (GG for DAA) is installed using OUI. You can also use a command line silent installation using OUI.

This chapter describes how to install a new instance of GG for DAA. The Installation is a three-step process:
  • Install the GG for DAA Microservices Architecture (MA).
  • Set the necessary environment variables.
  • Deploy an Oracle GoldenGate instance using the configuration assistant.
The installer registers the Oracle GoldenGate home directory with the central inventory that is associated with the selected database. The inventory stores information about all Oracle software products installed on a host if the product was installed using OUI.

Disk space is also required for the Oracle GoldenGate Bounded Recovery feature. Bounded Recovery is a component of the general Extract checkpointing facility. It caches long-running open transactions to disk at specific intervals to enable fast recovery upon a restart of Extract. At each bounded recovery interval (controlled by the BRINTERVAL option of the BR parameter) the disk required is as follows: for each transaction with cached data, the disk space required is usually 64k plus the size of the cached data rounded up to 64k. Not every long-running transaction is persisted to disk.
