GoldenGate Confusions

Hi all,
I have checked installers of GodelGate both in OTN and E-delivery.
I am just confused. There is separate GG for windows and there is also serapate GG for sqlserver? are they the same thing?
Similarly, there is GG for linux and there is separate GG for oracle for linux?
Suppose I have Sqlserver , Oracle 10g, and Oracle11g in my windows 2008 server. How many types of GoldenGate should I install? Assuming I want to replicate data to all 3 databases?
thanks again...

The short answer to your questions is as follows:
There is a version of GoldenGate for each OS and Database combination so you would download GoldenGate for SQL/Server on Windows 2008 Server, Oracle 10g on Windows 2008 Server and Oracle 11g on Windows 2008 Server. For a total of 3 different versions of GoldenGate installed on your machine.
I'd create 3 specific Oracle GoldenGate homes, one for for each version:
C:\u01\app\oracle\product\11.2.1\gghome_sqlserver
C:\u01\app\oracle\product\11.2.1\gghome_oracle10g
C:\u01\app\oracle\product\11.2.1\gghome_oracle11g
The long answer is as follows:
GoldenGate is very, very cool!
Basically your Extract and Replicat processes are 'magic' in that they are configured (via parameter files) the same (generally) for every database and operating system that is supported, but because they are compiled for each specific OS/Database configuration the GoldenGate team has done all the work of figuring out how to make an extract work against any database and a replicat work against any database. The extract pulls stuff out and (in general) writes it to a 'GoldenGate canonical format' which we then move across the network and write to the destination in the same canonical format. The replicat reads this canonical format and translates it into destination specific SQL DML (and/or DDL) statements.
So once you have learned how to configure GoldenGate for Oracle 10g on Windows, you can leverage that same knowledge for both Oracle 11g and SQL/Server (and DB2, and MySQL, etc...).
To enable this, the GoldenGate team compiles a specific version of GoldenGate for each OS and Database version.
Does that help?

Confusion over sequences in Goldengate

I've got two databases on the same (test) server which I've set up with Goldengate.
The databases are both 10.2.0.4 64-bit on RHEL5, and the Goldengate version is 11.2.1.0.1 for 10g.
Source=PROD
Target=PROD11G (in anticipation of being upgraded...)
I've successfully configured Golgengate so the database was replicating DML and DDL, but realised I forgot to install support for Oracle sequences.
Following the instructions on pg 32 of the Goldengate Installation Guide, I ran the sequence.sql script as sysdba on both databases and pointed it to my existing 'GGATE' schema owner.
On the source system I've also run: alter table sys.seq$ add supplemental log data (primary key) columns;
... but I'm confused about steps 8 and 9 which are:
8. on source
GRANT EXECUTE on DDLuser.updateSequence TO DBLOGINuser;
9. on target
GRANT EXECUTE on DDLuser.replicateSequence TO Replicatuser;
The DDLuser is my 'GGATE' schema owner, but who is DBLOGINuser and ReplicatUser. Is this the schema(s) referred to in my extract group? i.e. sure006 (btw,... I tried but still get the below error when starting replicat).
Anyway,... I now start the replicat process and it abends with the below error:

doh!,... looks like I must have run the sequence.sql script in the source both times (the REPLICATESEQUENCE procedure in GGATE schema was invalid). I ran sequence.sql in the target and now replicat starts fine.
although now I see that the sequence still isn't being incremented on the target....

GoldenGate Replication Polling Interval

I've been experimenting/evaluating GoldenGate replication and I keep running up against a limiting factor. If I understand things correctly, GoldenGate's extract processes monitors some of the logs Oracle spits out and uses them to generate its replication messages. However, as far as I can tell, those logs are read, at best, once a second (under heavy load, I've seen it take much longer). On the one hand, I expect there's still a great deal of tuning to be done, both on the hardware and networking side, but on the other, it severely concerns me that there's a baseline minimum one second delay for each replication hop due to a polling period from GoldenGate alone.
So the real question is: can the GoldenGate processes' polling period can be reconfigured to be quicker? I couldn't find anything in the documentation to suggest this was possible, but I'm convinced it should be.

We tried using the variables, but the results weren't what we expected. We're running Goldengate on Amazon EC2 Oracle instances, so we suspect there may either be misconfiguration of Oracle or amazon's network being noisy to confuse things.
Also the project is currently on hold, so I can't investigate it further. However I'm content that the question has be answered sufficiently, it's just a shame we couldn't investigate them further.

How to set up Replicat Process with GoldenGate on Exadata & DBFS?

Hi all,
I confuse with usage of DBFS on Exadata when trying to config Replicat Process via this Oracle document:
[Oracle Best Practices For High Availability|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-gg-oracledbm-128760.pdf]
I have a system with these description:
EXADATA: 2 node ExaDB01 & ExaDB02. This system mount a DBFS /mnt/dbfs/ggs for store GoldenGate subdirectory (trail and checkpoint file only)
FUJITSU: 2 node FujDB01 & FujitDB02.
I need to config GoldenGate with DataPump to sync data between these two systems.
On ExaDB01, i created an Extract Process to extract trail file to EXTTRAIL location /mnt/dbfs/ggs/dirdat/aa.
Now, I need to config datapump on ExaDB01 and Replicat Process on FujDB01. At this point, i confuse with DBFS configuration for EXTTRAIL & RMTTRAIL:
1) At ExaDB01:
GGSCI (exadb01) 1> ADD EXTRACT exadump, EXTTRAILSOURCE /mnt/dbfs/ggs/dirdat/aa
GGSCI (exadb01) 1> ADD RMTTRAIL /mnt/dbfs/goldengate/dirdat/aa EXTRACT exadump, MEGABYTES 500
2) At FujDB01: Replicat Process
GGSCI (fujdb01) 1> ADD REPLICAT rexadb, EXTTRAIL /mnt/dbfs/goldengate/dirdat/aa
So in this case:
Q1) ExaDB01 and FujDB01 have the same mount point /mnt/dbfs/ggs?
Q2) With ExaDB01: The "local trail" and "remote trail" in this case are stored in the same directory /mnt/dbfs/ggs/dirdat?
Q3) If "local trail" and "remote trail" are stored in the same directory. So why we need to config DataPump to push "local trail" to "remote trail" location?
Please light me up!
Tks & Brgd

GoldenGate forum is over here:
GoldenGate
(thread has moved from Replication to GoldenGate)
Extract
EXTTRAILl aa is created
Data Pump (secondary extract)
Reads and sends your exttrail to a remote server, which can also be the same server, so in that case, you need to rename the file (the trail ID, two character prefix).
The linkage is you add the data pump extract, and then add the rmttrail
ADD EXTRACT <dp name>, EXTTRAILSOURCE wherever/aa, BEGIN <time>
ADD RMTTRAIL <wherever on your server/bb, EXTRACT <same dp name>
Note that the trail ID has switched from aa to bb. If going to a remote server, you can use the same ID. If going to the same server, put it in a different path, or have the trail read by replicat named something else via the ID.
If you wanted to use the same dirdat directory, then your original extract is created with aa, and your trails read by replicat can read bb - after the pump has "sent" the aa files over as bb.
You don't need a data pump, but as a best practice, always use one. Using a data pump eliminates replication failure due to network outage. If not using one, then what happens when extract has nowhere to send a trail to on a remote server (because it cannot reach/communicate with the remote server)?
If using the same server without a data pump, then your primary extract "sends" or creates the trail in the rmttrail location, where replicat then reads from. In that case, you only have the one trail ID.
If one on server, you can also create a second instance of GoldenGate (in its own home), so it will have a slightly different path, and in that case, you do not have to switch the trail ID because the path difference will take care of separating the files.

Apple ID appearing on another iPhone device (Sync confusion)

Issue
iTunes is sporadically requesting access to my partner's Apple ID account when downloading applications and trying to install the other iTunes account applications also when syncing takes place within iTunes. System software/accounts seems confused.
How can I ensure that both devices remain separate and do not access each other's iTunes accounts or sync over Mac logins? How can I delete mixed applications from separate Apple ID's ensuring it won't replicate the deletion on the primary Apple ID?
Background
1 x Macbook Pro OS 10.8.2
iTunes 11.0.1
App Store 1.2.1
1 x iPhone 4S OS 6.0.1 (Device A)
1 x iPhone 4 OS 6.0.1 (Device B)
Separate Apple ID's
Separate iCloud accounts
iTunes accounts
Both people have our own iTunes accounts linked to their own device. All details are currently correct when checking Apple ID profiles.
MacbookPro
Both people have separate MacBook Pro logins and software is all up to date.
History
In the past, over a year ago, both iPhone devices were sync'd via the same iTunes and Macbook log in. (Not a good start I know) Both iPhones always had their own iTunes account for downloading apps and music etc. When I realised I was syncing application data from one iPhone to the other on my Macbook, I created two Macbook log ins. I deleted all applications on Device B that were transferred from Device A and also deleted the applications in Device B's iTunes account. It seemed that both devices finally had seperated, retained their own Apple ID logins, applications and Macbook user logins.
Device B recently tried to install an application that Device A also had.
The application installed onto Device B without an issue and there was no confusion with Device A having the same application. The application can be upgraded to provide additional functionality. When Device B requested this within the application to upgrade, the Apple ID of Device A suddenly appeared.
I checked that Device B was asked to INSTALL the primary basic version of the application rather than OPEN it, just incase the confusion started at this point. It definitely said INSTALL.
I thought the divorce was done and dusted in the past.
Why would Device B suddenly point Device A's Apple ID?
To troubleshoot, I connected Device B to iTunes on the MacBook with Device B's Macbook log in. When iTunes opened within the Apple ID of Device B ALL DEVICE A applications appeared and started to sync these applications to Device B! I am back to mixed accounts.
How can ITunes suddenly connect the Apple ID's of both accounts and then tell Device B it needs to install Device A's applications? They are separate Apple ID accounts, separate copyright, separate costs.
I know with iMatch that you can share the library with another device and when this occurs it locks the Apple ID of the primary iTunes account for 90 days on secondary device. We have never done this.
I'm 'Syncing' trying to work this one out, please help!

Can someone please explain and help me? I am unlocking an iphone4 from at&t to use it on the straight talk network. They've confirmed my request to do this and I am now a little confused as to what to do next. They want me to back up the phone using itunes on either a MAC or PC. I do not have an aplle computer but I do have an acer. Sooo, can I use it to do this? Or do I even have to do this to unlock and switch the iphone4 over to a new network? If I do have to what can I do to do this because like I said I do not have a computer by apple? Can anybody walk me through what I need to do next please? I've been waiting to do this for a very long time and I now have the option to have an iphone and use it. Thanks to my awesome boyfriend who Gave me his old iphone when he swapped back to an android. Hahahaha! Please anybody!? Because I sooo don't know what I'm doing and really do not want to mess the phone Or the process up. Thanks to any and all who read this and help me! It is greatly appreciate it!

Install iTunes on your Acer and you can back up the iPhone. Or back it up to iCloud. If you do not back it up you can get it unlocked, but you will lose all of your content.
You can get iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes.
Even after unlocking I'm not sure it will work on Straight Talk, because last time I checked ST used Verizon as its carrier, and an AT&T iPhone 4 is not compatible with Verizon's network. You can probably use it on Net 10 or T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

Computers on small office network - names getting confused on iChat

We are using bonjour and iChat on the computers on a small airport network in our office as an instant messaging solution in our office - however, 2 of the computers (which are named differently) keep getting confused and both being called the same name.
I have done the fix where you go to System Prefs, Users & Groups and then set the address book card to that particular computer owner, restart the computer and then open iChat (using bonjour) - it saves the name but then my colleague becomes the same name as me on iChat - so we do the same thing to her computer (set address book card etc) and it changes her iChat name, but then also seems to override what I had set for mine previously.
Help!! What can I do to stop these 2 computers seemingly overriding each other? It doesn't happen with the other 4 computers sharing our network...

Hi,
In System Preferences > Sharing is the Name the Computer has.
This does play a part in any Bonjour Connection.
It is this name that appears in Shares in the Finders's Side bar.
Separate for that iChat and Messages that have the Bonjour Account Enabled broadcast the details from the My Card in the Address Book.
Issues can arise with some Server based Logins that create a Global Address book that changes the My Card.
You get similar difficulties on some DiskImage roll outs of updates and the like if the details of the Address Book are copied as well.
I am not sure what you mean by the "fix" in System Preferences > Users and Groups to change the My Card or the Computer's Name.
Yes you can click the Contact Card for that account and it will show you it in the Address Book and it should be th My Card.
Changing the My Card then does not alter which Card is associated with the Mac User Account.
There is no access to the Computer's Name

Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

The method add() in java.awt.Container made me in confuse

Here is my two java code file:
//MyContainer.java
package sam.gui;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class MyContainer extends JApplet {
     private MyButton[] myButton = new MyButton[2];
     private static int counter = 0;
     public MyContainer() {
          myButton[0] = new MyButton(5, 5, 200, 30);
          myButton[1] = new MyButton(5, 40, 200, 30);
          for (int i = 0; i < myButton.length; i++) {
               add(myButton);
     public void paint(Graphics g) {
          for (int i = 0; i < myButton.length; i++) {
               System.out.println("MyButton : " + (i+1));
               myButton[i].draw(g);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          MyContainer container = new MyContainer();
          JFrame f = new JFrame();
          f.getContentPane().add(container);
          f.pack();
          f.setSize(new Dimension(300, 200));
          f.show();
//MyButton.java
package sam.gui;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
public class MyButton extends Component {
     private Color m_rectColor = new Color(128, 73, 0);
     public MyButton(int x, int y, int width, int height) {
          setBounds(x, y, width, height);
     public void draw(Graphics g) {
          Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
          g.setColor(m_rectColor);
          g.fillRect(0, 0,
                    getBounds().width, getBounds().height);
          System.out.println("x = " + getBounds().x);
          System.out.println("y = " + getBounds().y);
          System.out.println("width = " + getBounds().width);
          System.out.println("height = " + getBounds().height);
I thinked the runned result should be below:
MyButton : 1
x = 5
y = 5
width = 200
height = 30
MyButton : 2
x = 5
y = 40
width = 200
height = 30But in fact, its result is here:
MyButton : 1
x = 5
y = 5
width = 200
height = 30
MyButton : 2
x = 0
y = 0
width = 292
height = 173I don't know why the result would like this? I have used add(...) method to add two component MyButton to the container MyContainer, But the bounds of the second component is not I want.
So this problem made me go into confuse.

You need to learn how layout managers work. The default layout manager of a JApplet and JFrame is BorderLayout .

Confused about Open Cursors :(

Hi all,
i need some clarification on this issue, i've read throught the documentation and i'm a bit confused.
I'm using 10.1.0.2
select sum(value)
from v$statname sn,
v$sesstat st,
v$session s
where sn.statistic# = st.statistic#
and st.sid = s.sid
and sn.name = 'session cursor cache count'
The result of the above query is 4926, meaning i have 4926 CLOSED cursors in the session cursor cache.
select count(1)
from v$open_cursor
The result of the above query is 16968, meaning i have 16968 cached cursors
So there are two distinct cursor Caches ?
now lets look at other statistic
select sum(value)
from v$statname sn,
v$sesstat st,
v$session s
where sn.statistic# = st.statistic#
and st.sid = s.sid
and sn.name = 'opened cursors current'
this one gives me 12212 , so i have 12212 opened cursors (NOT CACHED , REALLY OPENED CURSORS ...is this correct???)
I suspect that my applications are not closing resultsets (java build application, deployed in oracle application server, database connections in pooled connection) ... so i'm trying to help my developers to find the potencial bug in application.
How can i get the SQL from OPEN cursors ???
V$open_cursor gives me SQL from CLOSED cached cursors ...
Best Regards
Rui Madaleno

Hi,
>>this one gives me 12212 , so i have 12212 opened cursors (NOT CACHED , REALLY OPENED CURSORS ...is this correct???)
For your instance, yes because you use the sum(value) aggregate function. But I think that the best is get this value per session.
select count(1) from v$open_cursor
v$open_cursor shows cached cursors, not currently open cursors, by session. If you're wondering how many cursors a session has open, don't look in v$open_cursor. It shows the cursors in the session cursor cache for each session, not cursors that are actually open. To monitor open cursors, query v$sesstat where name='opened cursors current'. This will give the number of currently opened cursors, by session:
select a.value, s.username, s.sid, s.serial#
from v$sesstat a, v$statname b, v$session s
where a.statistic# = b.statistic# and s.sid=a.sid
and b.name = 'opened cursors current';
>>I suspect that my applications are not closing resultsets (java build application, deployed in oracle application server, database connections in pooled connection)
In this case, you need to monitor you application. If want, you can use the OEM Database Console and go to [Top Sessions | Session Details] link, or to use this SQL above.
By the way, do you are getting ORA-1000 errors ?
If so, set the OPEN_CURSORS parameter high enough that you never get an ORA-1000 during normal operations.
Cheers

Table numbering confusion and how to link to tables in a book/document?

More questions :-(
Table numbering confusion...
I'm porting over (from MS Word) a document that has a bunch of tables in it.
The document currently looks something like this:
1 Major heading
1.1 Sub heading
text for that sub heading that refers to a table that follows (or may preceed) such as see Table 1-1 that follows
Table 1-1
Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content
Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.
Row 3                    etc.               etc.
1.2 Next sub heading
Text to follow that sub head that references Table 1-2 below...
Table 1-2
Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content
Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.
Row 3                    etc.               etc.
2 Major heading
2.1 Next sub heading
Text to follow that sub head that references Table 2-1 below...
Table 2-1
Row 1/Column 1 content   Column 2 content   Column 3 content
Row 2/Column 1 content   etc....            etc.
Row 3                    etc.               etc.
3 Major heading
3.1 Next sub heading
etc.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Currently it seems that the tables are numbered based on the chapter number with the chapter apparently being set at 2.
I need the tables to instead use numbering based on the heading (Titles) numbers, but can't seem to figure out how to get the numbers set for the tables as I would want them to be.
What do I need to do to make the table numbers reset based on the paragraph numbers (subchapters if you would refer to them that way...)
Thanks again!

What is the paragraph format of "Table 2-1" lines?
Table numbering is commonly controlled by two things:
1. Format > Paragraph > Paragraph Designer
[table title para name]
[ Numbering]
and
2. Format > Document > Numbering
The default in Frame is that tables have titles of para fmt "TableTitle", but tables can switch that off, and also be anchored to paragraphs (often Headings) of any arbitrary format name and numbering scheme.

Form processing using getParameter Names() and Values() Seriously confused

Hi all,
I have an HTML table containing multiple <INPUT name='Flows[]' ...> to create arrays. However, when I try to process the code in my servlet it gets ignored and no excpetions are thrown. I know I must be doing something wrong but for the life of me I cannot see what or where it is.
Enumeration <String> paramNames = request.getParameterNames() ;
double dFlows[] = null ;
while (paramNames.hasMoreElements())
     try
          String pName = paramNames.nextElement() ;
          System.out.println(String.format("Parameter Name : %s Length %d", pName, pName.length())) ;
          if (pName == "Flows[]")
               String pValues[] = request.getParameterValues(pName) ;
               nParams = pValues.length ;
               System.out.println(String.format("Found %s Flow Readings", nParams)) ;
               dFlows = new double[nParams] ;
               for (p = 0; p < nParams; p++)
                    dFlows[p] = Double.parseDouble(pValues[p]) ;
          else
               System.out.println(String.format("%s != Flows[]", pName)) ;
     catch (Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace(System.out) ;
}The output I get in the log file is :
Parameter Name : Flows[] : Length 7
Flows[] != Flows[]
If the log is to believed then the error is in the if (pName == "Flows[]") but the log proves this to be wrong!
Can anyone help me out with this, I really am seriously confused.
Bill Moo

          if (pName == "Flows[]")
          if (pName.equals("Flows[]"))But why on earth are you looping through all the parameters when you already know the name? Use request.getParameter("Flows[]");

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.
