If you are working in a very busy database environment in a large organization, you would probably come across some additional challenges in implementing GoldenGate, particularly due to the way team responsibilities are structured. If the GoldenGate management is done by a separate team other than the DBA team, then the security policies would need to be set up so that there is no risk of teams overlapping each other's areas. If the source database is quite busy, it could be that the DBA team would not allow any additional load on the source database server.

In this chapter, we will look at how we can separate the GoldenGate management responsibilities from the DBA team and also how we can implement GoldenGate on a different server without putting additional load on the source database server. We will also go through the procedure to set up replication...
