8. Basic
Architecture
Capture:
commiYed
transacCons
are
captured
(and
can
be
filtered)
as
they
occur
by
reading
the
transacCon
logs.
Trail:
stages
and
queues
data
for
rouCng.
Pump:
distributes
data
for
rouCng
to
target(s).
Route:
data
is
compressed,
encrypted
for
rouCng
to
target(s).
Delivery:
applies
data
with
transacCon
integrity,
transforming
the
data
as
required.

24. Tune
GoldenGate
• Use
Network
Efficiently
• Lag
Cmes
increase
• Check
target
database
performance
• Consult
Network
Team
for
any
performance
issue
• Checkpoint
Extract/Replicat
• send replicat rep, status
• Indicates
any
delay
with
replicat

25. Tune
GoldenGate
• Eliminate
disk
I/O
• Try
to
eliminate
this
first
• System
ConfiguraCons
• Most
shops,
disk
are
controlled
by
SAN
Admin
or
internal
devices
• Choose
RAID
0+1
over
RAID
5
• GoldenGate
ConfiguraCon
• Increase
values
of
parameters:
• CHECKPOINTSECS
• GROUPTRANSOPS
• EOFDELAY or EOFDELAYSECS

26. Tune
GoldenGate
• Manage
VM
and
Paging
• Default:
use
as
much
memory
allowed
• Default:
./dirtmp
and
as
much
space
as
allowed
• Can
be
controlled
with
cachemgr
parameter
• Valid
for
Extract/Replicat
• Current
seyngs
can
be
viewed
in
report
file

27. Tune
GoldenGate
(cachemgr
con’t)
• EsCmate
swap
space
needed
• Extract_Swap_Needed =(PROCESS_VM *
num_extracts) + (swap_other_processes)
• Replicat_Swap_Needed =(PROCESS_VM *
num_replicats) + (swap_other_processes)
•
Review
in
report
file
• send [extract/replicat] <group name>,
cachemanager

28. Profiling
GoldenGate

29. Profiling
the
GoldenGate
Processes
• perf
• Used
to
profile
OS
processes
and
hardware
performance
• strace
• Used
to
see
what
processes
are
calling
• backtrace
file

30. Profiling
the
GoldenGate
Extract
• backtrace
file
output
• InteresCng
find
with
extract
process
(6
Threads
=
1
extract)

31. Profiling
the
GoldenGate
Extract
• Threads
IdenCfied
for
extract
• Number
of
threads
increase/add
extracts
• 1
extract
=
6
threads
• 2
extracts
=
12
threads,
etc..
• Each
thread
takes/uses
memory
• Average
Memory
22-­‐50
MB
• 3.6-­‐8.3
MB
per
thread

32. Conclusion
• Reviewed
Oracle
GoldenGate
Architecture
• Discussed
tuning
aspects
of
Oracle
GoldenGate
for
applicaCon
and
operaCng
system
• Quickly
looked
at
trace
of
an
extract
process
