If you plan to install the Manager process as a Windows service and either of the following is true, then you must specify a custom name for the Manager service:

• You are installing the Manager as a Windows service and want to use a service name other then the default, which is GGSMGR.

• You want to have multiple Manager processes running as Windows services on this system. Each Manager service on a system must have a unique name.

To specify a custom Manager service name:

1. From the Oracle GoldenGate installation directory, run ggsci.exe from the Oracle GoldenGate directory.

2. Issue the following command:

   EDIT PARAMS ./GLOBALS
   

   Note:

   The ./ portion of this command must be used, because the GLOBALS file must reside at the root of the Oracle GoldenGate installation file.

3. In the file, add the following line, where name is a unique, one-word name for the Manager service.

   MGRSERVNAME name
   

4. Save the file. The file is saved automatically with the name GLOBALS, but without a file extension. Do not move this file because it is used during installation of the Windows service and during data processing.
