Oracle GoldenGate Processes Part 1 Manager

In order to configure and run an Oracle GoldenGate environment, a manager process must be running on all the source,
target, and intermediary servers in the configuration. This is due to the manager process being the controller process for
the Oracle GoldenGate processes.

The manager process performs the following functions within the Oracle GoldenGate instance:

1. Starts Processes

2. Starts Dynamic Processes

3. Start the Controller process

4. Manage the port numbers for the processes

5. Trail File Management

6. Create reports for events, error and threshold

Note: There is only one manager processes per Oracle GoldenGate instance.

Configure Manager Process

Before a manager process can be started it needs to be configured. There are many different parameters than can be used
in the manager parameter file, but the only required one is PORT parameter. The default port for a manager is 7809. In
order to edit the manager parameter file, it can be done either from the command line or from within the GGSCI utility.

Edit via command line:

$ cd $OGG_HOME/dirprm
$ vi mgr.prm

Edit via GGSCI:

GGSCI> edit params mgr

PORT 15000
AUTOSTART ER *
AUTORESTART ER * , RETRIES 5, WAITMINUTES 5
PURGEOLDEXTRACTS ./dirdat/lt*, USECHECKPOINTS, MINKEEPHOURS 2

Start from GGSCI:

$ cd $OGG_HOME
$ ./ggsci
GGSCI> start manager
or
GGSCI> start mgr

Stop from GGSCI:

$ cd $OGG_HOME
$ ./ggsci
GGSCI> stop manager [ ! ]
