Controlling Extract and Replicat

Here are basic directions for controlling Extract and Replicat processes.

To Start Extract or Replicat

START {EXTRACT | REPLICAT} group_name

Where:

group_name is the name of the Extract or Replicat group or a wildcard set of groups (for example, * or fin*).

To Stop Extract or Replicat Gracefully

STOP {EXTRACT | REPLICAT} group_name

Where:

group_name is the name of the Extract or Replicat group or a wildcard set of groups (for example, * or fin*).

To Stop Replicat Forcefully

STOP REPLICAT group_name !

The current transaction is aborted and the process stops immediately. You cannot stop Extract forcefully.

To End a Process that STOP Cannot Stop

KILL {EXTRACT | REPLICAT} group_name

Ending a process does not shut it down gracefully, and checkpoint information can be lost.

To Control Multiple Processes at Once

command ER wildcard specification

Where:

```
command is: KILL, START, or STOP
```
wildcard specification is a wildcard specification for the names of the process groups that you want to affect with the command. The command affects every Extract and Replicat group that satisfies the wildcard. Oracle GoldenGate supports up to 100,000 wildcard entries.
