During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to another episode of the Oracle University Podcast. I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hi everyone! If you've been listening to us these last few weeks, you'll know we've been discussing the fundamentals of GoldenGate 23ai. Today is going to be all about the Replicat process. Again, this is something we've discussed briefly in earlier episodes, but just to recap, the Replicat process applies changes from the source database to the target database. It's responsible for reading trail files and applying the changes to the target system. 01:04 Lois: That's right, Niki. And we'll be chatting with Nick Wagner, Senior Director of Product Management for Oracle GoldenGate. Hi Nick! Thanks for joining us again today. Let's get straight into it. Can you give us an overview of the Replicat process? Nick: One thing that's very important is the Replicat is extremely chatty with that target database. So it's going to be going in and trying to make lots of little transactions on that system. The Replicat process only issues single row DML. So if you can imagine a source database that's generating hundreds of thousands of changes per second, we're going to have to have a Replicat process that can do 100,000 changes per second on that target site. That means that it's going to have to send a lot of little one record commands. And so we've got a lot of ways to optimize that. But in all situations you're really going to want very, very low ping time between that Replicat process and that target database. This often means that if you're going to be running GoldenGate in a cloud, you're going to want the Cloud GoldenGate environment to be running in that target data center, wherever that target database is. 02:06 Lois: What are the key characteristics of the process, Nick? Nick: Replicat process is going to read the changes from the trail file and then apply them to the target system, just like any database user would. It's not doing anything special where it's going under the covers and trying to apply directly to the database blocks. It's just applying regular standard insert, update, delete, and DDL statements to that target database. A single trail file does support high volume of data replication activity depending on the type of Replicat. Replicats do preserve the boundary of their transactions. So in the situations, by default, a transaction that's on the source, let's say five inserts followed by a commit will remain five inserts followed by a commit on the target site. There are some operations and changes that do affect this, but they're not turned on by default. There are things like group transactions that allows you to group multiple transactions into a single commit. This one could actually improve performance in some cases. We also have batch SQL that can change the boundaries of a transaction as well. And then in a Parallel Replicat, you actually have the ability to split a large transaction into multiple chunks and apply those chunks in Parallel. So again, by default, it's going to preserve the boundaries, but there are ways to change that. And then the Replicats use a checkpoint table to help with recovery and to know where they're applying data and what they've done. The other thing in here is, like an Extract process can write to multiple trails and write subsets of data to each one, a Replicat can only process a single set of trail files at once. So it's going to be attached to a specific trail file like trail file AB, and will only be able to read changes from trail file AB. If I have multiple trails that need to be applied into a target system, then I have to set up multiple Replicats to handle that. 03:54 Nikita: So, what are the different Replicat types, Nick? Nick: We have three types in the product today. We have Classic Replicat, which should really only be used for testing purposes or in environments that don't support any of the other specialized Replicats. We have Coordinated Replicat, which is a high speed apply mechanism to apply data into a target system. It does have some parallelism in it, but it's user defined parallelism. And then we have our flagship and that's Parallel Replicat. And this is the most performant lowest latency Replicat that we have. 04:25 Lois: Ok. Let's dive a little deeper into each of them, starting with the Classic Replicat. How does it work? Nick: It's pretty straightforward. You're going to have a process that reads the trail files, and then in a single threaded fashion it's going to take the trail file logical change record, convert it to an insert, update, or delete, and then apply it into that target database. Each transaction that it does is preceded by a change to the checkpoint table. So when the transaction that the Replicat is currently doing is committed, that checkpoint table update also gets committed. That way when the Replicat restarts, it knows exactly what transaction it left off and how it last applied the record. And all the Replicats work the same way with regards to checkpoint tables. They each have their own little method of ensuring that the transaction they're applying is also reflected within the checkpoint table so that when it restarts, it knows exactly where it happened. That way, if a Replicat dies in the middle of a transaction, it can be restarted without any duplicate data or without missing data. 05:29 Did you know that Oracle University offers free courses on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure? You'll find training on everything from multicloud, database, networking, and security to artificial intelligence and machine learning, all free for our subscribers. So, what are you waiting for? Pick a topic, head over to mylearn.oracle.com, and get started. 05:53 Nikita: Welcome back! Moving on, what about Coordinated Replicat? Nick: The Coordinated Replicat is going to read from a set of trail files. It's going to have multiple threads that do this. So you have your base thread, your coordinated thread that's going to be thread 1. It's going to process the data and apply it into that target database. You then have thread 2, 4, 5, 6, and so on. When you set up your Replicat parameter file for a Coordinated Replicat, the map commands that maps from one table on the source to a table on the target has an additional option. So you'll have an option called a range or thread range. With the range and thread range option, you can actually tell which table to go into which thread. 06:38 Lois: Can you give us an example of this? Nick: So I could say map Scott.M into thread 1 and I want Scott.Dept into thread 2. Well, this is fantastic until you realize that Scott.M and Scott.Dept have a foreign key between them or a child dependencies, parent-child relationships. What that means is that now I'm going to have to disable that foreign key on the target site, because there's no way for GoldenGate to coordinate the changes in one thread to another thread. And so you really have to be careful on how you pair your tables together. If you don't have any referential integrity on that target database, then you can use parallel coordinated Replicat to really high degrees of parallelism, and you get some very good performance out of it. Let's say that you have a table that's really got too much data for even a single thread to process, that's where the thread range comes in. And thread range command will use something like the table's primary key to split transactions on that table across multiple threads. So I can say, hey, take my table Scott.M and I want to spread transactions across threads 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 and then spread them evenly based on the primary key. And Coordinated Replicat will do that. So you can get some very high performance numbers out of it and you can really fine tune the tables, especially if you know the amount of data coming into each one. While this does work great, we observed that a lot of customers really don't know their applications to that level of detail, and so we needed a different method to push data into that target database, where we could define the parallelism based on the database expectations. So instead of the customer having to try and figure out what are the parent-child relationships, why can't GoldenGate do it for me? And that led to Parallel Replicat. 08:26 Nikita: And what are the benefits and features of the Parallel Replicat process? Nick: So Parallel Replicat has been around for quite a few years now. It supports most targets, it was Oracle initially, but now it's been expanded out to a lot of the non-Oracle targets and even some of the nonrelational database targets. It has absolutely the best performance of any Replicat process out there. You can use it to split large transactions as well. So if all of a sudden you have a batch job that does a million inserts followed by a single commit, I can split that across 10 threads, each thread doing 100,000 inserts. And it's aware of your transaction dependencies, that's the cool thing. So in Coordinated Replicat, you had to worry about how to split your tables up, in Parallel Replicat, we do it for you. 09:11 Lois: And how does Parallel Replicat work? Nick: So there's three main processes to the Parallel Replicat. You have your first is the mapper process. This is going to be responsible for taking the data out of the trail files and putting them into kind of our collator and scheduler box. As transactions go from the trail file, they get put into this box in memory where they're processed. There's a collator process that will look at these processes and go, OK, as they're coming in, let me read some of the data in them to determine how they can be applied in Parallel or not. And so the collator process understands the foreign key dependencies on that target database. And it's able to say, hey, I know that my two tables are these two tables, have a parent-child relationship, I need to make sure that changes on those tables go in the correct order. And so if all of a sudden you see an insert using the parent record and then another insert into the child record and they're mapped together, GoldenGate will ensure that those two transactions go serially and not parallel where they could get applied out of order. There's then a scheduler process that's going to look at this and say, OK, now that I'm taking transactions from the collator process, who's already identified whether or not transactions can be applied in parallel or serial, and I'm going to feed them off to applier processes that are ready and waiting for me to apply those changes into the database. And then the applier process is waiting for the scheduler process to send its transactions and say, OK, what's my next one? Where's the next transaction I should be working on and applying? And then the applier process is the one actually applying the changes into that target database, again, just using standard DML operations. So there's a lot of benefits to this one. You don't need to worry about your foreign key dependencies, you can leave all your foreign keys enabled. The collator process will actually use information within the trail file to determine which transactions can be applied in parallel, and which one needs to be applied serially. 11:13 Lois: Thank you, Nick, for this insightful conversation.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hey there! Last week, we spoke about the Extract process and today we're going to spend time discussing the Distribution Path, Target Initiated Path, Receiver Server, and Initial Load. These are all critical components of the GoldenGate architecture, and understanding how they work together is essential for successful data replication. 00:58 Nikita: To help us navigate these topics, we've got Nick Wagner joining us again. Nick is a Senior Director of Product Management for Oracle GoldenGate. Hi Nick! Thanks for being with us today. To kick things off, can you tell us what the distribution service is and how it works? Nick: A distribution path is used when we need to send trail files between two different GoldenGate environments. The distribution service replaces the extract pump that was used in GoldenGate classic architecture. And so the distribution service will send the trail files as they're being created to that receiver service and it will write the trail files over on the target system. The distribution service works in a kind of a streaming fashion, so it's constantly pulling the trail files that the extract is creating to see if there's any new data. As soon as it sees new data, it'll packet it up and send it across the network to the receiver service. It can use a couple of different methods to do this. The most secure and recommended method is using a WebSocket secure connection or WSS. If you're going between a microservices and a classic architecture, you can actually tell the distribution service to send it using the classic architecture method. In that case, it's the OGG option when you're configuring the distribution service. There's also some unsecured methods that would send the trail files in plain text. The receiver service is then responsible for taking that data and rewriting it into the trail file on the target site. 02:23 Lois: Nick, what are some of the key features and responsibilities of the distribution service? Nick: It's responsible for command deployment. So any time that you're going to actually make a command to the distribution service, it gets handled there directly. It can handle multiple commands concurrently. It's going to dispatch trail files to one or more receiver servers so you can actually have a single distribution path, send trail files to multiple targets. It can provide some lightweight filtering so you can decide which tables get sent to the target system. And it also is integrated in with our data streams, our pub and subscribe model that we've added in GoldenGate 23ai. 03:01 Lois: Interesting. And are there any protocols to remember when using the distribution service? Nick: We always recommend a secure WebSocket. You also have proxy support for use within cloud environments. And then if you're going to a classic architecture GoldenGate, you would use the Oracle GoldenGate protocol. So in order to communicate with the distribution service and send it commands, you can communicate directly from any web browser, client software-- installation is not required-- or you can also do it through the admin client if necessary, but you can do it directly through browsers. 03:33 Nikita: Ok, let's move on to the target initiated path. Nick, what is it and what does it do essentially? Nick: This is used when you're communicating from a less secure environment to a more secure environment. Often, this requires going through some sort of DMZ. In these situations, a connection cannot be established from the less secure environment into the more secure environment. It actually needs to be established from the more secure environment out. And so if we need to replicate data into a more secure environment, we need to actually have the target GoldenGate environment initiate that connection so that it can be established. And that's what a target-initiated path does. 04:12 Lois: And how do you set it up? Nick: It's pretty straightforward to set up. You actually don't even need to worry about it on the source side. You actually set it up and configure it from the target. The receiver service is responsible for receiving the trail file data and writing it to the local trail file. In this situation, we have a target-initiated path created. And so that receiver service is going to write the trail files locally and the replicat is going to apply that data into that target system. 04:37 Nikita: I also want to ask you about the Receiver service. What is it really? Nick: Receiver service is pretty straightforward. It's a centrally controlled service. It allows you to view the status of your distribution path and replaces target side collectors that were available in the classic architecture of GoldenGate. You can also get statistics about the receiver service directly from the web UI. You can get detailed information about these paths by going into the receiver service and identifying information like network details, transfer protocols, how many bytes it's received, how many bytes it's sent out. If you need to issue commands from the admin client to the receiver service, you can use the info command to get details about it. Info all will tell you everything that's running. And you can see that your receiver service is up and running. 05:28 Are you working towards an Oracle Certification this year?

Go to community.oracle.com/ou to jump-start your journey towards certification today! 05:53 Nikita: Welcome back. In the last section of today's episode, we'll cover what Initial Load is. Nick, can you break down the basics for us? Nick: So, the initial load is really used when you need to synchronize the source and target systems. Because GoldenGate is designed for 24/7 environments, we need to be able to do that initial load without taking downtime on the source. And so all the methods that we talk about do not require any downtime for that source database. 06:18 Lois: How do you do the initial load? Nick: So there's a couple of different ways to do the initial load. And it really depends on what your topology is. If I'm doing like-to-like replication in a homogeneous environment, we'll say Oracle-to-Oracle, the best options are to use something that's integrated with GoldenGate, some sort of precise instantiation method that does not require HandleCollisions. That's something like a database backup and restoring it to a specific SDN or CSN value using a Database Snapshot. Or in some cases, we can use Oracle Data Pump integration with GoldenGate. There are some less precise instantiation options, which do require HandleCollisions. We also have dissimilar initial load methods. And this is typically when you're going between heterogeneous environments. When my source and target databases don't match and there isn't any kind of fast unload or fast load utility that I could use between those two databases. In almost all cases, this does require HandleCollisions to be used. 07:16 Nikita: Got it. So, with so many options available, are there any advantages to using GoldenGate's own initial load method? Nick: While some databases do have very good fast load and unload utilities, there are some advantages to using GoldenGate's own initial load method. One, it supports heterogeneous replication environments. So if I'm going from Postgres to Oracle, it'll do all the data type transformation, character set transformation for me. It doesn't require any downtime, if certain conditions are met. It actually performs transformation as the data is loaded, too, as well as filtering. And so any transformation that you would be doing in your normal transaction log replication or CDC replication can also go through the same transformation for the initial load process. GoldenGate's initial load process does read directly from the source tables. And it fetches the data in arrays. It also uses parallel processing to speed up the replication. It does also handle activity on the source tables during the initial load process, so you do not need to worry about quiescing that source database. And a lot of the initial load methods directly built into GoldenGate support distributed application analytics targets, including things like Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery. 08:28 Lois: And what about its limitations? Or to put it differently, when should users consider using different methods? Nick: So the first thing to consider is system proximity. We want to make sure that the two systems we're working with are close together. Or if not, how are we going to send the data across? One thing to keep in mind, when we do the initial load, the source database is not quiesced. So if it takes an hour to do the initial load or 10 hours, it really doesn't matter to GoldenGate. So that's something to keep in mind. Even though we talk about performance of this, the performance really isn't as critical as one might suspect. So the important thing about data system proximity is the proximity to the extract and replicat processes that are going to be pulling the data out and pushing it across. And then how much data is generated? Are we talking about a database that's just a couple of gigabytes? Or are we talking about a database that's hundreds of terabytes? Do we want to consider outage time? Would it be faster to take a little bit of outage and use some other method to move the data across? What kind of outage or downtime windows do we have for these environments? And then another consideration is disk space. As we're pulling the data out of that source database, we need to have somewhere to store it. And if we don't have enough disk space, we need to run to temporary space or to use multiple external drives to be able to support it. So these are all different considerations. 09:50 Nikita: I think we can wind up our episode with that. Thanks, Nick, for giving us your insights.

Giles Robson and Jim Basnight join me on episode 136 for a retrospective on Alex ‘Rice' Miller (aka Sonny Boy Williamson II). Information on Sonny Boy's early life is sketchy. Sonny Boy was likely born in 1912 and had a hard upbringing working on a plantation before becoming a travelling musician. Arriving in Helena, Arkansas, he found fame performing on the King Biscuit Time radio show before making his first recordings with Trumpet Records at age 38 in 1951. Sonny Boy made his classic cuts for Checker Records (a subsidiary of Chess) in 1955. He then toured Europe in 1963/64, becoming a celebratory in England and having a huge impact on the British Blues Boom.Returning to Helena, where he died in 1965, Sonny boy is one of the true giants not only of the harmonica but also the blues, with his charismatic vocals, songwriting and enigmatic charm.Links:Giles Robson: https://gilesrobson.comJim Basnight: https://www.jimbasnightmusic.com/Extract from Bill Donohue biography: https://www.furious.com/perfect/sonnyboy.htmlChris Strachwitz remembers Sonny Boy: https://arhoolie.org/chris-strachwitz-remembers-sonny-boy-williamson/Bob Corritore photo gallery of Sonny Boy: https://bobcorritore.com/photos/sonny-boy-williamson-ii/Sonny Boy discography: https://sonnyboywilliamson2.blogspot.com/2013/08/sonny-boy-williamsons-chronological.htmlMacie J Blues blogspot on Sonny Boy: https://sonnyboywilliamson-maciejblues.blogspot.com/Videos:Sonny Boy live in Manchester: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GwiJTa-620Possibly the late Chris Strachwitz recordings of Sonny Boy: ‘Last Sessions': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLco7ZmxqUs&t=10sLive in Europe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yhcNEgd3uIConcert from the Jazz House, Wiesbaden, Germany, November, 1963: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGGR5l4zOzw&t=1sPlaying with the Chris Barber Band in the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euSd5TtPe68‘Solo Harp' album, containing the recordings from home of German photographer Stefanie Wiesand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6RkAlhX7fgRobbie Robertson recalls meeting Sonny Boy shortly before he died: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90-O6c20PLkThe grave of Sonny Boy, with comments from Giles Robson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-XQwpBTGRIBye Bye Bird in Europe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZArN9y5qZcSupport the show
