Third System in the Cascade

Configure the Manager process and Replicat group on the third system in the cascade.

To Configure the Manager Process

On the third system, configure the Manager process.
In the Manager parameter file, use the PURGEOLDEXTRACTS parameter to control the purging of files from the trail.

To Configure the Replicat Group

On the third system, create a Replicat checkpoint table (unless using Oracle integrated Replicat). See About Checkpoint Table for instructions.
On the third system, use the ADD REPLICAT command to create a Replicat group. For documentation purposes, this group is called rep_2.
```
ADD REPLICAT rep_2
[, INTEGRATED | COORDINATED [MAXTHREADS number]]
, EXTTRAIL remote_trail_2, 
, BEGIN time
```
Use the EXTTRAIL option to link the rep_2 group to the remote_trail_2 trail.

See Parameters and Functions Reference for Oracle GoldenGate for detailed information about these and other options that may be required for your installation.
On the third system, use the EDIT PARAMS command to create a parameter file for the Replicat group. Include the following parameters plus any others that apply to your database environment. For possible additional required parameters, see the Oracle GoldenGate installation and setup guide for your database.
```
-- Identify the Replicat group:
REPLICAT rep_2
-- Specify database login information as needed for the database:
[TARGETDB dsn_3][, USERIDALIAS alias]
-- Specify error handling rules:
REPERROR (error, response)
-- Specify tables for delivery and threads if using coordinated Replicat:
MAP [container.|catalog.]owner.table, TARGET owner.table[, DEF template]
[, THREAD (thread_ID)][, THREADRANGE (thread_range[, column_list])]
;
```
Note:

For DB2 for i, you may need to use the ADD TRANDATA command on the target tables if they are not already journaled. Alternatively, you could use the STRJRNPF command to assign the tables to the appropriate journal. If the target tables are not required to be replicated by Oracle GoldenGate, the IMAGES(*AFTER) option can be used with STRJRNPF. Since Oracle GoldenGate operates using transactions, all tables must be journaled to support transactions and this is not the default with DB2 for i.
