Migration Utility: (download the Migration Utility from MOS)

Prerequisites for the Migration Utility:

Before running the migration utility, ensure the following:

• Java Version: Java 1.8 JRE or higher, as provided by Oracle GoldenGate.
• GoldenGate Version: GoldenGate 19.1 with Bundle Patch 200714 or later (for OGG MA).
• MA Deployment: A new Microservices Architecture (MA) deployment must be created, and all services must be running.
• Classic Deployment: All processes in the Classic deployment must be stopped. Any abended processes should be restarted and then properly shutdown.
• Deployment Location: The Classic deployment must either be on the same server as the MA deployment or have its file system accessible on that server.
• Environment Setup: The migration utility must be run from a shell or command prompt where the environmental variable is set for the MA deployment.

Migration Utility Restrictions:

The migration utility cannot handle processes with the following limitations:

• PUMP Processes: Cannot migrate if they perform transformations or use dblogin.
• Classic Extract: Deprecated in GoldenGate 19c and unsupported in versions 21c and above for MA targets greater than 19.1.
• Unsupported Parameters: Processes using any of the following parameters:
  • MACRO
  • OBEY
  • MACROCHAR
• Remote Configurations: Does not support remote trail files, remote tasks, or initial load operations.
• Trail File Location: Trail files must be in ./dirdat or its subdirectories. If located elsewhere, they must be moved to ./dirdat, and you need to use the “convchk” utility to update the checkpoint for Extract and adjust any Replicat parameters accordingly.
• INCLUDE Restrictions:
  • Nested INCLUDE statements are not supported.
  • INCLUDE can only be used in Extract and Replicat, not in Pump Extract.

In this article, we’ll explore the log file paths for the key components of Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (OGG MA), helping administrators quickly locate and analyze logs for efficient issue resolution.

To use the command line interface with Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (OGG MA), you need to utilize the AdminClient utility. Unlike the traditional Classic Architecture, where you use ggsci for most administrative tasks, OGG MA provides the AdminClient command-line interface for interacting with OGG processes.

Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (MA):

Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture (MA) is a modern, web-based framework designed to manage data replication in a more flexible, scalable, and cloud-friendly way compared to the traditional Oracle GoldenGate Classic Architecture. Introduced in Oracle GoldenGate 12c, the Microservices Architecture offers an improved user experience through RESTful APIs and web-based user interfaces. Here are the key features and components of Oracle GoldenGate Microservices:
