In this post I’ll show how to do the initial load by exporting a schema from the source database, importing that into the target and then start the re-synchronization in GoldenGate.
The initial setup on the source and the target is almost the same. But first lets delete all objects of “HR” in the target database:
1
2
3
4
5

declare
  lv_statement varchar2(2000);
begin
  for r in ( select object_name,object_type from dba_objects where owner='HR' )
  loop
    case r.object_type
      when 'TABLE' then lv_statement := 'drop table hr.'||r.object_name||' cascade constraints';
      when 'VIEW' then lv_statement := 'drop view hr.'||r.object_name;
      when 'SEQUENCE' then lv_statement := 'drop sequence hr.'||r.object_name;
      when 'PROCEDURE' then lv_statement := 'drop procedure hr.'||r.object_name;
      else lv_statement := null;
    end case;
    begin
      dbms_output.put_line(lv_statement);
      execute immediate lv_statement;
    exception when others then null;
    end;
  end loop;
end;
/
select count(*) from dba_objects where owner='HR';
Exactly as in the last post lets setup the initial recording of transactions on the source and target databases. Not much explanation here as all the steps were already covered in the last post.

GGSCI (oelgg2.it.dbi-services.com) 1> dblogin useridalias DB2 domain admin
Successfully logged into database.
  
GGSCI (oelgg2.it.dbi-services.com as ggadmin@DB2) 2> add replicat replcdd, integrated, exttrail ./dirdat/jj
Record the SCN of the source database:
1
2
3
4
5
SQL> select current_scn from v$database;
CURRENT_SCN
-----------

Having the scn we can now do an export of the “HR” schema on the source:
1
2
3
4
5
SQL> create or replace directory gg as '/var/tmp';
Directory created.
SQL> !expdp userid="' / as sysdba'" schemas=hr dumpfile=exphr.dmp logfile=exphr.log directory=gg flashback_scn=2040227
Transfer this to the target environment and do the import:
1
2
3
4
5
SQL> create or replace directory gg as '/var/tmp';
Directory created.
SQL> !impdp userid="' / as sysdba'" schemas=hr dumpfile=exphr.dmp logfile=imphr.log directory=gg
The rest is the same as in the last post. Start the replicat on the target:
1

GGSCI (oelgg2.it.dbi-services.com) 6> start replicat REPLCDD, aftercsn 2040227

Do some modifications on the source:
1
2
3
4
5
SQL> update hr.countries set COUNTRY_NAME = 'Zimbabwe11' where COUNTRY_NAME = 'Zimbabwe10';
1 row updated.
SQL> commit;
And then check the modification on the target:
1

13
SQL> select * from hr.countries where country_name like '%Zimba%';
CO COUNTRY_NAME                  REGION_ID

SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;

Quite easy if you get the basic steps for configuring the replicat and extracts right.
The next post will look into how you can suspend replication for end of day processing and restart it afterwards automatically.
