Oracle GoldenGate – Integrated Capture

By September 26, 2018September 1st, 20192 Comments

Oracle GoldenGate – Integrated Capture

Oracle has introduced Integrated Extract or Integrated Capture from OGG 11.2.x. They bind this capture with the Oracle RDBMS and hence it is called Integrated Capture. The Classic Capture is decoupled with the Oracle Database where in the Integrated Capture is tightly coupled with the Oracle Database. Instead of the Extract process directly capturing the transactions from the database, in here, the Logmining Server plays the role. A LogMining server will be attached with this Integrated Capture process in the database to mine the redo or archive logs and captures the transactions. This process mainly works on the streams concepts. So, Integrated Capture has the below sub-processes.

  • READER – Reads logfiles and splits in to regions

  • PREPARER – Scans regions of logfiles and pre-filters based on extract parameters

  • BUILDER – Merges prepared records in SCN order

  • CAPTURE – Formats Logical Change Records (LCRs) and passes to Oracle GoldenGate Extract

 

Below is the architecture diagram of LogMining Server.

 

Once the Capture passes the LCRs to the Extract, the Extract process performs the mappings and transformations of the transactions according to the parameters which we had mentioned in the Extract process parameter file and finally writes them to the trail files called Local Trail Files.

So, the work of the Extract process in here is as below,

  • Requests LCRs from Logmining Server

  • Performs Mapping and Transformations

  • Writes the data to the Trail Files

Oracle GoldenGate supports all Oracle data and storage types. But to have this the source database should be at least 11.2.0.3 and a specific database bundle patch needs to be applied. Please refer the below doc,

Oracle GoldenGate — Oracle RDBMS Server Recommended Patches (Doc ID 1557031.1)

You can use integrated capture on an 11.2.0.3 downstream mining database for a source database with a compatibility less than 11.2.0.3, but in this mode, SECUREFILE LOBs, XML columns, Transparent Data Encryption, and UDTs have limited support based on database version and compatibility. But in here also, you need to apply the database specific bundle patch as per the below doc,

Oracle GoldenGate — Oracle RDBMS Server Recommended Patches (Doc ID 1557031.1)

Since the Integrated Capture is tightly coupled with the Oracle Database, there are many advantages when comparing to the Classic Capture. They are as below,

  • No additional setup is required when configured with Oracle RAC, ASM or TDE.

  • Integrated Capture uses the Logmining Server. This gives an additional advantage for the Integrated Capture to switch between different copies of redo and archive logs copies when there is a missing of log file due to disk corruption.

  • Faster filtering of tables

  • Supports all Oracle data and storage types

  • Efficiently handles point in time recovery and RAC integration. Whenever there is a inter-node failure, Integrated handles efficiently which is not in the case of Classic Capture.

  • It has an integrated log management which makes the RMAN to retain the archive logs automatically which are needed by the Integrated Extract process.

  • We all know that Oracle has introduced Multitenant Architecture (Container Database concepts) from Oracle 12c. Integrated Extract is the only mode which has the ability or supports capturing data from a Multitenant container database. Single Integrated Capture is more than enough to mine from multiple pluggable databases (PDBs).

  • For an Integrated Extract, no additional scripts are needed to be executed and this is called Native-DDL. For this, source database should be 11.2.0.4 with compatibility set to 11.2.0.4 or higher. If the source database is earlier than version 11.2.0.4 then DDL trigger must be used.

Integrated Capture vs Classic Capture

    • Tightly coupled with Oracle Database.

    • Can be used only with Oracle Database.

    • Supports parallelism. Multiple processes captures the data in parallel.

    • No requirement of setting ASMUSER or DBLOGREADER since the Logmining Server mines the redo or archive logs.

    • Whenever there is a node failure or addition of node in a RAC, no manual intervention required. It takes care automatically.

    • Works based on the STREAMS concepts.

    • Can be configured only when your OGG is 11.2.0.x or higher.

 

Pre-requisites for Integrated Extract

1.STREAMS_POOL_SIZE

This plays a vital role in the Integrated Feature. You need to configure explicitly the Streams_Pool_Size when you configure the Integrated Mode of Capture. Integrated Capture takes or consumes memory from the STREAMS_POOL_SIZE. There are some calculations to size the streams pool. Please check the below link on
how to size this STREAMS_POOL

Memory requirement for Oracle GoldenGate Integrated Extract

2. RECOMMENDED PATCHES

There are some recommended patches to be applied to the Oracle Database when using the Integrated Capture/Replicat. Please check the below KM Note.,

Oracle GoldenGate — Oracle RDBMS Server Recommended Patches (Doc ID 1557031.1)

Latest GoldenGate/Database (OGG/RDBMS) Patch recommendations (Doc ID 2193391.1)

3. ARCHIVE LOG MODE

The database should be in ArchiveLog Mode when Oracle GoldenGate configured. Oracle GoldenGate captures the changes either from Redo Logs or Archive Logs. Please change the database to the ArchiveLog Mode.

Now, let’s go to the configuration of Integrated Extract process.

Register the extract process to the database with the below command.

GGSCI (OGGR2-1.localdomain as ggadmin@GGDB1) 8> register extract INEXT, database

2018-09-24 11:53:24 INFO OGG-02003 Extract INEXT successfully registered with database at SCN 4043243.

This will create a Logminer Build and the capture begins from the time that REGISTER EXTRACT is issued. A Capture will be created in the database with the name OGG$CAP_INEXT. The format for this is “OGG$CAP_EXTRACT-NAME”.

Below are the entries in the alert log file during the time of register.

Now, add the Integrated Extract process. The command for adding Classic and Integrated extract is same, the only difference is the keyword “INTEGRATED”.

How to check if the extract process created or running is a Classic or Integrated? It is very simple. We can see the ‘Log Read Checkpoint’ as “Oracle Integrated Redo Logs”.

For a Classic Capture it will be as “Oracle Redo Logs”.

As I already mentioned that the Integrated Capture is tightly coupled with Oracle Database, there are some in-built database view to monitor the progress of the Integrated capture at the database level. One of them and frequently used is DBA_CAPTURE

SQL> desc DBA_CAPTURE
 Name Null? Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
 CAPTURE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 QUEUE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 QUEUE_OWNER NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
 RULE_SET_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
 RULE_SET_OWNER VARCHAR2(30)
 CAPTURE_USER VARCHAR2(30)
 START_SCN NUMBER
 STATUS VARCHAR2(8)
 CAPTURED_SCN NUMBER
 APPLIED_SCN NUMBER
 USE_DATABASE_LINK VARCHAR2(3)
 FIRST_SCN NUMBER
 SOURCE_DATABASE VARCHAR2(128)
 SOURCE_DBID NUMBER
 SOURCE_RESETLOGS_SCN NUMBER
 SOURCE_RESETLOGS_TIME NUMBER
 LOGMINER_ID NUMBER
 NEGATIVE_RULE_SET_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
 NEGATIVE_RULE_SET_OWNER VARCHAR2(30)
 MAX_CHECKPOINT_SCN NUMBER
 REQUIRED_CHECKPOINT_SCN NUMBER
 LOGFILE_ASSIGNMENT VARCHAR2(8)
 STATUS_CHANGE_TIME DATE
 ERROR_NUMBER NUMBER
 ERROR_MESSAGE VARCHAR2(4000)
 VERSION VARCHAR2(64)
 CAPTURE_TYPE VARCHAR2(10)
 LAST_ENQUEUED_SCN NUMBER
 CHECKPOINT_RETENTION_TIME NUMBER
 START_TIME TIMESTAMP(6)
 PURPOSE VARCHAR2(19)
 CLIENT_NAME VARCHAR2(4000)
 CLIENT_STATUS VARCHAR2(8)
 OLDEST_SCN NUMBER
 FILTERED_SCN NUMBER

Query this view to check the status and progress of the Integrated Capture as below

SQL> select capture_name, start_scn, first_scn, logminer_id, source_database from dba_capture;

CAPTURE_NAME START_SCN FIRST_SCN LOGMINER_ID SOURCE_DATABASE
------------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------- -------------------------
OGG$CAP_INEXT 4043243 4043243 3 GGDB1

The detailed explanation of the DBA_CAPTURE can be checked from the below link,

Hope you enjoyed the post. Will see about the Integrated Replicat process in my next post.

Cheers 🙂
