New to Oracle Global Data Services? You’ve come to the right place. This book will show you how to leverage the power of Oracle GDS to ensure runtime load balancing, region affinity, replication lag tolerance-based workload routing, and inter-database service failover. In particular, you will see how to maximize the utilization of replication investments with Oracle GDS.The book starts by guiding you through the installation and configuration of GDS and provides details for each component in the GDS framework. Next, you’ll learn how to configure various components of Oracle GDS in standalone environments. Hands-on exercises that explore the advantages of GDS with different test cases utilizing Active Data Guard (ADG), Oracle GoldenGate (OGG), and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) will help you put your learning in context. The book concludes with a demonstration of how to add Oracle GDS to OEM for monitoring and troubleshooting. You’ll also see how to monitor Oracle GDS in a centralized location using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.After completing this book, you will understand the architecture, components, and implementation strategies of GDS using ADG and OGG in mission-critical environments.What You Will LearnUnderstand Oracle Global Data Services architecture and its various componentsInstall and configure Oracle Global Data ServicesUse Global Data Services with Active Data Guard and Oracle Golden Gate.Monitor Global Data Services using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.Troubleshoot issues in Global Data ServicesWho This Book Is ForOracle database administrators, Oracle database architects, Oracle technical managers, Oracle application business analysts, and Oracle data engineers.

This book focuses on the utilization of GoldenGate Services (GGS) in conjunction with a microservices architecture on the Oracle cloud (OCI), primarily for data migration and integration across various data sources and targets.The book begins with a practical example of utilizing GGS on a Marketplace VM, progressively advancing to in-depth discussions on implementing GoldenGate as a Service on OCI. The book offers illustrative guides for data replication between RDBMSs (such as Oracle, Postgres, and big data targets such as Kafka). Additionally, it explores monitoring techniques using Enterprise Manager and Grafana dashboards. A comparative analysis is presented between traditional VM-based GoldenGate installations and the OCI service model. Special attention is given to Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) and leveraging GGS for database migration from on-premises to OCI. Some chapters address multi-cloud replication using OCI GGS and include real-life case studies.By the end of this book you will have gained comprehensive insights into the architectural design of GoldenGate Services and will be adept at replicating data using GGS, enabling you to replicate setups in your own environments.What You Will LearnSet up GoldenGate Services for high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), migration of data to cloud, and moving data into the data lake or lakehousePerform logical migration of data to the cloud using the ZDM tool (ZDM uses GoldenGate internally).Replicate data to big data targetsMonitor GGS using Enterprise Manager and GrafanaReplicate data in a multi-cloud environment Who This Book Is ForOracle database administrators who want to replicate data or use Oracle GoldenGate Services for migration and setup of high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR); and data engineers who want tobuild the data warehouse, data lake, data lakehouse to push data in near real-time
