Oracle GoldenGate – Using the Director Client

To start the GoldenGate Director Server, we need to run the startWebLogic.sh script located in the “domain” sub-directory of the GoldenGate Director Server software installation directory.

[oracle@redhat346 bin]$ cd /u01/oracle/gg-director

[oracle@redhat346 gg-director]$ ls
cds_current_db_config.xml cds-tool-error.log cds-tool.log domain domain-new.jar ggs.url notices.txt uninstall

[oracle@redhat346 gg-director]$ cd domain

[oracle@redhat346 domain]$ cd bin

[oracle@redhat346 bin]$ ls
log4j.properties server_migration setDomainEnv.sh startPointBaseConsole.sh stopManagedWebLogic.sh
nodemanager service_migration startManagedWebLogic.sh startWebLogic.sh stopWebLogic.sh

[oracle@redhat346 domain]$ ./startWebLogic.sh.

Note: we need to keep this window open!

We can now use the Director Administrator tool to create and modify administrator user accounts and manage data sources.

In the bin sub-directory under the top level directory where we installed the GoldenGate Director Client, we will find two shell scripts for launching the Director Administrator and the Director Client.

[oracle@redhat346 bin]$ cd /u01/oracle/gg-client/

[oracle@redhat346 gg-client]$ ls
bin etc GDSC Admin Tool GoldenGate-Director libs META-INF notices.txt Oracle GDSC Admin Tool.desktop Oracle GoldenGate-Director.desktop uninstall

[oracle@redhat346 gg-client]$ cd bin

[oracle@redhat346 bin]$ ls
run-admin.sh run-director.sh

Note – the default password for the admin user is ‘admin’ – we can change that via the Director Administrator tool.

[oracle@redhat346 bin]$ ./run-admin.sh

From the GoldenGate Director Client, we can manage all the GoldenGate instances in our environment as well as use a GUI to execute any of the command line GSSCI commands. We can also create and modify Extract and Replicat processes as well as get a diagramatical representation of the data extraction and replication processes currently running. We launch the Director Client by running the run-director.sh script as shown below.

[oracle@redhat346 bin]$ ./run-director.sh
