Oracle GoldenGate Director Web is used with Oracle GoldenGate Director Server, which
comprises a Java application server. The Java EE architecture of such an application server
has the following components:
Monitor Database: The Monitor Database forms the repository for consolidating event
logs and performance statistics from the various hosts on the network. It also decouples
the various processes performing the actual monitoring work (Monitor Agent) from those
providing data display and control to the user (Monitor GUI). The Monitor Database can
be implemented on any of a number of RDBMS platforms for which JDBC drivers exist.
Monitor Agent: The Monitor Agent is a multithreaded Java server that performs the
actual data gathering. When initialized, the Monitor Agent starts a monitoring thread for
each configured host on the network and, optionally, starts threads for cleaning up the
database and receiving remote commands. As these threads change data in the
database, the Monitor Agent sends a message to the application context of the Monitor
GUI, informing any GUI sessions that a redisplay of data is needed. This message
exchange eliminates unnecessary polling and querying of the database by the GUI.
Director Web GUI: Oracle GoldenGate Director Web GUI is a Java servletbased or
JSP-based application that requires an application server or web server that is Javacapable to run. The Web GUI is accessible via any current version of the browser. All
processing logic is performed on the server, delivering only HTML and JavaScript to the
requesting browser. The GUI is able to update its display in near-real time by using a
polling mechanism that queries only for messages submitted by the Monitor Agent, thus
eliminating unnecessary round trips to the database.

Oracle GoldenGate Director Web is GUI-driven by the Monitor Agent running on a web server
that uses a database that is JDBC compliant.
The Monitor Agent communicates to the Oracle GoldenGate Manager instance in order to
communicate to the GGSCI interface on the host. The Monitor Agent then sends an ALLSTAT
command directly to GGSCI to collect statistics of all Oracle GoldenGate processes on that
host. GGSCI responds via XML containing the statistics, which are then stored in the JDBC
database.
The web server sends these details via HTML to the web browser that runs Oracle
GoldenGate Director Web.

Oracle GoldenGate Director Web: Architecture

The interface has three main panes:

Network tree

Processes and
Tasks lists

Event Log

Copyright 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

To start Oracle GoldenGate Director Web interface, go to http://host:port/acon and log in with
the same user names as Oracle GoldenGate Director Client (those created and maintained by
Oracle GoldenGate Director Administrator). In the practice, that will be
http://ogg.example.com:7002/acon and userid/password admin/oracle_4U.
The Oracle GoldenGate Director Web interface is divided into three main panes (shown in
slide):
Network tree
Processes and Tasks lists (separate tabs)
Event Log

Oracle GoldenGate Director Web Interface

The Network tree shows the entire network of Oracle

GoldenGate instances.
The Color icon indicates the status of a
Manager instance.

Nodes can be expanded or collapsed.

Each capture/delivery process is
displayed.
The Color icon (green, yellow, red)
indicates the status of a process.

Watch lists enable you to concentrate

on particular nodes and groups.
Turn Live Monitoring on or off.

Copyright 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Network: The first items displayed in the tree view are the Oracle GoldenGate Manager
instances and the respective data extraction/replication processes that exist on the
network. To view (or hide) the processes, expand (or collapse) the instance nodes by
clicking the icon next to the name of the manager. Clicking a manager instance name or
process name in the tree view creates and applies a temporary watch list for that
instance and/or process so that you can filter the view for just the processes and events
that you are most interested in.
Watch lists: A watch list is simply a special view of the network. Using watch lists, you
can highlight specific areas of the network for special attention. A watch list consists of
one or more manager instance names, linked with an optional list of process names to
be monitored. In addition, a watch list contains an event log filter, which establishes a
default event log filter, when the watch list is displayed.
Live Monitoring toggle: Use the Live Monitoring toggle to turn live monitoring on or off.
When live monitoring is on, the data displayed in the various panes of the Oracle
GoldenGate Director Web interface will be updated in near real time.
Log out: Log out of and exit Oracle GoldenGate Director Web.

A process is listed as either a service or a task. The Processes list (shown in the slide) is a
detailed view of all the data capture/delivery processes on your network. Using the process
list, you can access detailed status information for each process, edit parameter files, view
reports, stop and start one or more processes, or even use web-GGSCI to gain full access to
a remote host. The Tasks list is a detailed view of all batch tasks on your network and
provides the same functionality as the Processes list.

An email alert is a filter that you set up on an event type and/or text or checkpoint lag for a
particular process or group of processes.
If the established criteria in the alert match, then an audible warning can be triggered or an
email can be sent to one or more recipients.
While Oracle GoldenGate Director can make email alerts, Oracle GoldenGate Monitor is the
recommended tool for creating and monitoring alerts (sending both email and SNMP). Oracle
GoldenGate Monitor is covered later in this course in the lesson titled Installing Oracle
GoldenGate Monitor.
