‣ Questions
GOLDENGATE TODAY
✴ Manual in nature
✴ Error prone (lots of typing)
✴ Wide range of architectures
What changed? There has to be an
easier way!

Why is there not a

GUI for this?

All this $$ for a cmd line

tool!? Waste of money!

Didn’t
someone tell me there is
a tool now?
ORACLE’S DESIGN TOOL

✴ Part of Oracle GoldenGate Foundation Suite

(OGG Studio, OGG Mgmt Pack, OGG Veridata)

✴ Only design tool that allows you to design, save and

deploy from a single interface
ORACLE’S DESIGN TOOL
(WHAT DOES IT DO)

✴ Quickly design simple and robust architectures

✴ Allows for sharing of designs between team members
(export/import functions)

Requirements
✴ Repository to store data models

✴ Oracle GoldenGate Management Agents

(JAgent - 12.1.0.2)
ORACLE’S DESIGN TOOL
(WHAT DOES IT NOT DO)

!!!!NO REVERSE ENGINEERING OPTIONS!!!!

A WALKTHROUGH
(PROJECTS PANE)

✴ Solutions: Architectural
designs for an OGG
environment (more than 1)

✴ Deployment Profiles: 2 types

- Online & Offline

✴ Local Mappings: Mappings

only used in current solution

(RESOURCES PANE)

✴ Database: Instances used in

architectural solution

✴ Global Mappings: Mappings

used across multiple
solutions

✴ GoldenGate Instance =
Oracle GoldenGate Monitor
Agents (JAgent)
A WALKTHROUGH
(PROJECTS, RESOURCES & DESIGN VIEW)

✴ Logical design highlights directions of

replication
A WALKTHROUGH
(DEPLOYMENT PROFILES & DEPLOYMENT VIEW)

✴ Deployment Profiles display as physical

architectures
✴ Interaction and deployments can be
done here

TOP FEATURES
✴ Design logical without knowing GoldenGate
specifics
✴ Best Practice wizards
✴ Auto-mappings and drag-n-drop
✴ Rapid deployment/redeployment (1-click)
✴ Evolve solutions to meet business needs
✴ Export/Import to share architectures
BEST PRACTICES

✴Keep process names simple

✴Add resources as needed (try to keep footprint small)
✴Export models regularly (share with friends)
✴Place repository database in archive log mode
for backups
BUGS!

✴Arrows don’t always line up (logical/physical views)

✴Security parameters (defaults to alias)
✴Obey directory (diroby) needs to be created
prior to deployment
