Creating the Manager Parameter File

To configure Manager with required port information and optional parameters, create a parameter file by following these steps. See Using Oracle GoldenGate Parameter Files for more information about Oracle GoldenGate parameter files.

Note:

If Oracle GoldenGate resides in a cluster, configure the Manager process within the cluster application as directed by the vendor's documentation, so that Oracle GoldenGate fails over properly with other applications. For more information about installing Oracle GoldenGate in a cluster, see the Oracle GoldenGate documentation for your database.

From the Oracle GoldenGate directory, run the GGSCI program to open the Oracle GoldenGate Software Command Interface (GGSCI).
In GGSCI, issue the following command to edit the Manager parameter file.
```
EDIT PARAMS MGR
```
Add the parameters that you want to use for the Manager process, each on one line.
Save, then close the file.
