Oracle GoldenGate Processes Oracle GoldenGate Architecture

Manager Network
It is required for Stop and Start GoldenGate Extract, Pump and Replicat processes
Mgr Mgr
Source Target
Extract DB DB
It reads database from online redo log files and optionally from archive log files and write
data to local or remote trail files Extract Pump Colle Replicat
Ext ctor

Data Pump Extract

It reads data from local trail file and writes data to remote trail over the TCP/IP network.
It is an optional process but highly recommended

Collector This diagram explains the logical architecture of an Oracle GoldenGate online replication.
It receives data from Pump Extract and writes data to remote trail files
GoldenGate Topologies
Replicat Oracle GoldenGate modular architecture provides the ability to extract DML & DDL
It reads data from remote trail files and write to the database one transaction at a time changes across variety of Topologies.

Trails and Files

Trails files are required for continuous data replication. These files are canonical
structured files which only GoldenGate process can read

Checkpoints
It provides the transaction recovery in case GoldenGate processes stopped abnormally.

Wallet
It is a secure common storage for User IDs and Passwords. It is highly recommended to
use wallet for secure credentials
