Known issues
Learn about known issues within the current release version.
Unable to log in to GoldenGate Studio Free when strong password policy is disabled
If you disable the strong password policy option during the installation process, then you may encounter an "Invalid username/password" error when logging in to the Oracle GoldenGate Studio Free console.
Recommendation: To avoid this issue, ensure that the strong password policy option stays enabled (don't deselect it) during the installation process.
Parallel Replicat not supported for Oracle Database Free 23ai
Oracle GoldenGate Studio Free doesn't support Parallel Replicats for Oracle Database Free 23ai sources or targets.
You can use Parallel Replicat for all other supported database versions.
GoldenGate Studio Free uses only one deployment
Oracle GoldenGate Studio Free only uses a single deployment. While it is possible to create multiple deployments, GoldenGate Studio Free recognizes only the first deployment created during the initial installation. This deployment is referred to as the primary deployment.
GoldenGate Studio Free doesn't recognize additional deployments created after the primary deployment. If you remove the primary deployment, then it is deregistered with GoldenGate Studio Free. At this point, if a deployment is created and no primary deployment exists, then the new deployment becomes the primary deployment.
Don't delete a deployment while a pipeline is running
If you delete the deployment while a pipeline is running, then the error
n[Object.keys(...)[0]] is undefined
appears on the pipeline's
Runtime page, and the pipeline's status changes to "Not started" on the Pipelines page.
Recommendation: Ensure that no pipelines are running if and when you decide to delete the deployment.
(Optional) Disable Distribution Service in GoldenGate Studio Free installer
Since GoldenGate Studio Free uses only one deployment, you can deselect Enable Distribution Service. The Distribution Service is only used when data must be replicated in a distributed environment (requiring muliple deployments).
You can leave the option selected for use with deployments not managed by GoldenGate Studio Free .
Ignore nonsecure to secure replication option in GoldenGate Studio Free installer
Oracle GoldenGate Studio Free doesn't support multiple deployments, so you can ignore the "This non-secure deployment will be used to send trail data to a secure deployment" option on the Security Options screen of the GoldenGate Studio Free Configuration Assistant.
Active-Active (bidirectional) replication issues
GoldenGate Studio Free doesn't support the addition new tables, nor change the ACDR type, after the active-active pipeline starts. If absolutely necessary, you can either:
- Create, configure, and start a new pipeline with the new tables added.
- In the GoldenGate Studio Free
console:
- Stop the pipeline.
- Create a new table externally, such as sqlplus or sqldeveloper.
- Under Mapping, expand the schema and select new tables.
- Under Options, in Advanced Options and under Replicat, select DISCARD for Actions upon DML Error.
- Save the pipeline configuration and then restart the pipeline.
