Introduction

This article describes an overview of how to integrate Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service (GGCS) in terms of populating or loading data into Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS) from On-Premises. Both GGCS and BICS are Platform as a Service (PaaS) services that runs in the Oracle Public Cloud (OPC).

For GGCS to be integrated with BICS, the following prerequisites must be met:

BICS has to be provisioned with Database Cloud Service (DBCS) not Schema as a Service as it’s data repository
GGCS has to be provisioned and attached to the DBCS used by BICS as it’s data repository
The DBCS used by BICS for its data repository and GGCS must be in the same domain

The high level steps for this On-Premises data with GGCS & BICS data integration are as follows:

Configure and Start GGCS Oracle GoldenGate Manager on the OPC side
Configure and Start SSH proxy server process on the On-Premises
Configure and Start On-Premises OGG Extract process for the tables to be moved to BICS DBCS
Configure and Start On-Premises OGG Extract Data Pump process
Configure and Start GGCS Replicat process on the OPC side to deliver data into BICS database

GoldenGate Cloud Service (GGCS)

The GoldenGate Cloud Service (GGCS), is a cloud based real-time data integration and replication service, which provides seamless and easy data movement from various On-Premises relational databases to databases in the cloud with sub-second latency while maintaining data consistency and offering fault tolerance and resiliency.

Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS)

Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS) is a robust platform designed for customers who wants to simplify the creation, management, and deployment of analyses through interactive visualizations, data model designs, reports and dashboards. It extends customer analytics—enhances data while ensuring consistency, and maintaining governance through standard definitions, advanced calculations and predictive analytical functions.

Figure 2: On-Premises to Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS) Architecture Diagram

As illustrated on figure 2, there are various ways or tools to integrate or move data between On-Premises and Business Intelligence in the cloud, such as Oracle Data Integration (ODI) application, Data Sync for BICS, even direct upload via secured File Transfer, and Remote Data Connector (RDC) are just some of the examples to access data from On-Premises and integrate or move it into BICS platform in the cloud.

For near real time integration of On-Premises data to Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS); GoldenGate replication platform is the tool to use and this article will present an overview on how to configure or load data from On-Premises to Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS) via GoldenGate Cloud Service (GGCS).

Oracle GoldenGate Replication

The high level steps for GoldenGate replication between On-Premises (Source) data with BICS (Target) data via GGCS are as follows:

Configure and Start GGCS Oracle GoldenGate Manager on the OPC side
Configure and Start SSH proxy server process on the On-Premises
Configure and Start On-Premises OGG Extract process for the tables to be moved to BICS DBCS
Configure and Start On-Premises OGG Extract Data Pump process
Configure and Start GGCS Replicat process on the OPC side to deliver data into BICS database

GGCS Oracle GoldenGate Manager

To start configuring Oracle GoldenGate on the GGCS instance, the manager process must be running. Manager is the controller process that instantiates the other Oracle GoldenGate processes such as Extract, Extract Data Pump, Collector and Replicat processes.

Connect to GGCS Instance through ssh and start the Manager process via the GoldenGate Software Command Interface (GGSCI).

[oracle@ogg-wkshp db_1]$ ssh -i mp_opc_ssh_key opc@mp-ggcs-bics-01

[opc@bics-gg-ggcs-1 ~]$ sudo su – oracle
[oracle@bics-gg-ggcs-1 ~]$ cd $GGHOME

Note: By default, “opc” user is the only one allowed to ssh to GGCS instance. We need to switch user to “oracle” via “su” command to manage the GoldenGate processes. The environment variable $GGHOME is pre-defined in the GGCS instance and it’s the directory where GoldenGate was installled.

[oracle@bics-gg-ggcs-1 gghome]$ ggsci

GGSCI (bics-gg-ggcs-1) 1> start mgr

Manager started.

GGSCI (bics-gg-ggcs-1) 2> info mgr

Manager is running (IP port bics-gg-ggcs-1.7777, Process ID 79806).

Important Note: By default, GoldenGate processes doesn’t accept any connection remotely. To enable connection from other hosts via the SSH proxy we need to add an ACCESS RULE to the Manager parameter File (MGR.prm) to allow connectivity through the public interface of the GGCS Instance.

Here’s the MGR.prm file used in this example:

–###############################################################
–## MGR.prm
–## Manager Parameter Template
— Manager port number
— PORT <port number>
PORT 7777
— For allocate dynamicportlist. Here the range is starting from
— port n1 through n2.
Dynamicportlist 7740-7760
— Enable secrule for collector
ACCESSRULE, PROG COLLECTOR, IPADDR 129.145.1.180, ALLOW
— Purge extract trail files

— something temporary interferes with a process, such as
— intermittent network outages or programs that interrupt access
— to transaction logs.
— AUTORESTART ER *, RETRIES <x>, WAITMINUTES <y>, RESETMINUTES <z>
— This is to specify a lag threshold that is considered
— critical, and to force a warning message to the error log.
— Lagreport parameter specifies the interval at which manager
— checks for extract / replicat –lag.
–LAGREPORTMINUTES <x>
–LAGCRITICALMINUTES <y>
–Reports down processes
–DOWNREPORTMINUTES <n>
–DOWNCRITICAL

Start SSH Proxy Server on the On-Premises

By default, the only access allowed to GGCS is via ssh, so to allow communication of GoldenGate processes between On-Premises and GGCS instance we would need to run SSH proxy server on the on-premises side to communicate to GoldenGate processes on the GGCS side.

Start the SSH proxy via the following ssh command:

[oracle@ogg-wkshp db_1]$ ssh -i keys/mp_opc_ssh_key -v -N -f -D 127.0.0.1:8888 opc@129.145.1.180 > ./dirrpt/socks.log 2>&1

Command Syntax: ssh –i -v –N –f –D listening_ip_address:listening_tcp_port_address @ > output_file 2>&1

SSH Command Options Explained:

-i = Private Key file
-v = Verbose Mode
-N = Do no execute remote command; mainly used for port forwarding
-f = Run ssh process in the background
-D Specifies to run as local dynamic application level forwarding; act as a SOCKS proxy server on a specified interface and port
listening_ip_address = Host Name or Host IP Address where this SOCKS proxy will listen (127.0.0.1 is the loopback address)
listening_tcp_port_address = TCP/IP Port Number to listen on
2>&1 = Redirect Stdout and Stderr to the output file
Verify the SSH Socks Proxy server has started successfully.
1. Check the socks proxy output file via the “cat” utility and look for the messages “Local connections to forwarded…” and “Local forwarding listening on port ”. Make sure it’s connected to GGCS instance and listening on the right IP and port address.

Configure and Start Oracle GoldenGate Extract Online Change Capture process

Before we can configure the Oracle GoldenGate Extract Online Change process, we need to enable supplemental logging for the schema/tables we need to capture on the source database via the GGCSI utility.

Enable Table Supplemental Logging via GGCSI:

GGSCI (ogg-wkshp.us.oracle.com) 1> dblogin userid tpcadb password tpcadb

Successfully logged into database.

GGSCI (ogg-wkshp.us.oracle.com as tpcadb@oracle) 2> add schematrandata tpcadb

2017-02-04 11:59:20 INFO OGG-01788 SCHEMATRANDATA has been added on schema tpcadb.
2017-02-04 11:59:20 INFO OGG-01976 SCHEMATRANDATA for scheduling columns has been added on schema tpcadb.

Note: The GGSCI “dblogin” command let’s the GGSCI session logged into the database. Your GGSCI session needs to be connected to the database before you can execute the “add schematrandata” command.

Create an Online Change Data Capture Extract Group (Process)

For this test, we will name our Online Change Data Capture group process to ETPCADB.

-> Register the Extract group with the database via GGSCI:

GGSCI (ogg-wkshp.us.oracle.com) 1> dblogin userid tpcadb password tpcadb

Successfully logged into database.

GGSCI (ogg-wkshp.us.oracle.com as tpcadb@oracle) 2> register extract etpcadb database

Extract ETPCADB successfully registered with database at SCN 3112244.

-> Create/Add the Extract Group in GoldenGate via GGSCI:

GGSCI (ogg-wkshp.us.oracle.com as tpcadb@oracle) 3> add extract etpcadb, integrated, tranlog, begin now

EXTRACT added.

Note: To edit/create the Extract Configuration/Parameter file, you need to execute “edit param <group_name>” via the GGSCI utility.

GGSCI (ogg-wkshp.us.oracle.com) 1> edit param etpcadb

Here’s the Online Change Capture Parameter (etpcadb.prm) file used in this example:

EXTRACT ETPCADB

Configure and Start Oracle GoldenGate Extract Data Pump process

For this test, we will name our GoldenGate Extract Data Pump group process to PTPCADB.

Create the Extract Data Pump Group (Process) via GGSCI

The Extract Data Pump group process will read the trail created by the Online Change Data Capture Extract (ETPCADB) process and sends the data to the GoldenGate process running on the GGCS instance via the SSH Socks Proxy server.

GGSCI (ogg-wkshp.us.oracle.com as tpcadb@oracle) 7> add extract ptpcadb, exttrailsource ./dirdat/ea

EXTRACT added.

Note: To edit/create the Extract Configuration/Parameter file, you need to execute “edit param <group_name>” via the GGSCI utility.

GGSCI (ogg-wkshp.us.oracle.com as tpcadb@oracle) 8> edit param ptpcadb

Here’s the Extract Data Pump Parameter (ptpcadb.prm) file used in this example:

EXTRACT PTPCADB
