The GLOBALS parameter file contains parameters that affect all processes within an Oracle GoldenGate instance.

GGSCHEMA is a mandatory parameter for Oracle GoldenGate 21c (21.3.0) onwards and defines the schema, which Oracle GoldenGate uses on the remote system for necessary Oracle GoldenGate database objects.

The GLOBALS parameter NAMECCSID is specific to DB2 for i and may be required, if the SQL catalog contains object names that are referenced by a different CCSID than the system CCSID. The SQL catalog is created in the system CCSID and does not indicate this difference when queried. Oracle GoldenGate makes queries to the catalog and could retrieve the name incorrectly unless NAMECCSID is used to supply the correct CCSID value. For more information, see Parameters and Functions Reference for Oracle GoldenGate.
