In this Quickstart, a sample trail file tr which is shipped with GG for DAA is used. The sample trail file is located at GG_HOME/opt/AdapterExamples/trail/ in your GG for DAA instance.

Oracle GoldenGate for Distributed Applications and Analytics (GG for DAA) uses Google Pub/Sub client libraries. You can use the Dependency Downloader to download the client libraries. Dependency Downloader is a set of shell scripts that downloads dependency jar files from Maven and other repositories.

1. In your GG for DAA VM, go to Dependency Downloader utility. It is located at GG_HOME/opt/DependencyDownloader/. Locate googlepubsub.sh.
2. Run googlepubsub.sh with the required version. You can check the version and reported vulnerabilities in Maven Central. This Quickstart uses 1.129.3, which is the latest version when it is published.
3. A new directory <googlepubsub_version> is created in GG_HOME/opt/DependencyDownloader/dependencies. Note this directory as it will be used in the replicat properties.
   • /u01/app/ogg/opt/DependencyDownloader/dependencies/googlepubsub_1.129.3

To create a replicat in Oracle GoldenGate for Distributed Applications and Analytics (GG for DAA):

   GG for DAA supports dynamic topic mapping by template keywords.  For example, if you assign topicMappingTemplate as  ${tablename}, GG for DAA will create a topic with the source table name, per each source table and will map the events to these topics.
   
   Oracle recommends using orderingkeyMappingTemplate=${primaryKeys}, GG for DAA will send the source operations with the same pk in the same source order. This will guarantee maintaining the order of the source operations while subscriber clients receive the messages.
