Overview of Tasks

Prepare the Environment

In order to execute this lesson, the GoldenGate application must be installed on both the

source and target systems. The installation includes a sample database and scripts to generate

initial data as well as subsequent update operations. The source and target tables are created

and loaded with initial data. The GoldenGate Manager processes are also started so that other

processes may be configured and started.

Configure Initial Data Load

Initial database synchronization is almost always required. To initially load data across

heterogeneous databases, you have limited choices. GoldenGate provides the ability to

perform initial data synchronization while your application remains active. The capture

process also provides flexible output options, including the capability to format the data to be

loaded with bulk load utilities, such as DB2 Load.

This lesson demonstrates using the direct load method to capture data directly from the

source tables and send the data directly to the delivery process on the target system.

Configure Change Capture

The Extract process is configured to capture change data directly from the SQL Server

recovery logs (transaction logs) and distribute the changes to a series of files known as a

GoldenGate trails.

This lesson demonstrates extracting the data with Extract and sending the data directly to the

Replicat process. This is known as the direct load method.

Configure Change Delivery

Once the tables have been initially loaded with data, the delivery process is configured to

synchronize the captured change data into the target database.

Objective

The goals of this exercise are to:

���� Create the database

���� Create SQL Server logins and users

���� Create ODBC data source.

���� Set up transaction logging.

���� Create tables and populate source data.

Prerequisites

This lab assumes that the GLOBALS parameters have been created with a <mgr service> name

and that the Manager service has been added. This should have been done when installing

GoldenGate for Windows.

Prepare the SQL Server 2005 source environment

Install Manager

1. Configure Manager process on the source

Execute the following commands on the <source> system.

Note! The port numbers must be unique if you are installing GoldenGate more than once on

the same server.

Shell> ggsci GGSCI> EDIT PARAMS MGR

� In the parameter file, enter the following parameter, then save and close the file.

PORT <port>

� Start Manager.

GGSCI> START MANAGER

� Verify the results:

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 4

GGSCI> INFO MANAGER

Create the database

2. Create the database

From Start>Programs, run SQL Server Management Studio.

� Enter the name of the local SQL Server instance, then click connect.

Note: These instructions assume SQL Server Authentication which requires the

more complex, double layer, of authentication. SQL Server Authentication is an

option only if it is permitted at the server level, and only Windows Authentication is

enabled by default. If you are using Windows Authentication, you can leave out

most of the login and password entries.

� This displays the main SQL Server Management Studio dialog box. Right, right-click Database and select the New Database option.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 5

� The New Database dialog box appears. In the Name box, type the <database> from

the Lab Preparation worksheet.

� Click OK to add the database.

� The main SQL Server Management Studio dialog box reappears.

3. Create SQL Server logins and users

� Right click Security and select the New > Login.

� The New Login dialog box appears.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 6

� For Name, type the <login>.

� Select Authentication,

� If you selected SQL Server Authentication, type the <password> in the two Password fields.

� Under Defaults, select your <database> for Database, and leave Language set to the default.

� Do not click OK. Instead, from Select a page in the upper left-hand box, double click

Server Roles.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 7

� Under Server Role, check the box for the System Administrators role.

� Click OK to exit.

The next step creates a schema that you will associate with the new user.

� While you have the database selected, click on the New Query button in the main

menu.

� The right side of the dialog displays the SQL Query interface. Type in:

create schema <owner/schema>;

And press the Execute button from the toolbar.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 8

Now you need to associate the new user and the schema that you have created with the new

database.

� Right click on the Security option that is under the database and select New > User.

� The New Database User dialog box appears. Enter the name of your user and press

the browse button labeled with three dots (…).

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 9

� The Select Login dialog displays. Press the Browse button.

� Select your new user <login> from the list. Then press OK.

� Your selected user now displays in the object names box. Press OK to exit from

Select Login.

� Back in the New Database User dialog, enter the <schema> you added as the default

schema and press OK.

4. Create the ODBC system data source name

The GoldenGate Extract process connects to a SQL Server database through an ODBC (Open

Database Connectivity) connection. Both the Extract and Replicat components of GoldenGate

require that a system data source name (DSN) be established, which stores the information

about how to connect to the SQL Server.

� Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.

� Double-click Administrative Tools.

� Double-click Data Sources (ODBC) to open the ODBC Data Source Administrator

dialog box.

� Click the System DSN tab, and then click the Add button. The Create New Data

Source dialog box appears.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 10

� Select the SQL Server driver and then click Finish. The Create a New Data Source to SQL Server dialog box appears.

� For Name, type <dsn>.

� Optionally type in a description, type for this source DSN.

� For Which SQL Server do you want to connect to, select local if SQL Server is on

the local system, or enter the server name at your SQL Server location.

� Click Next.

� Answer the question about how SQL Server should verify the login by selecting the option that you entered when creating the <login>. Then type <login> in Login ID and

<password> in Password.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 11

� Click Next.

� Make certain the default database is set to the database that you created; otherwise

select Change the default database to: and select it. Leave the other settings to their

defaults to use ANSI.

� Click Next.

� Leave the next dialog box set to the defaults, and click Finish.

� In the confirmation, click Test Data Source to test the connection.

� Close the confirmation dialog box and the Create a New Data Source box.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 12

� You can leave the SQL Server Management Studio running on the source system,

because you will be using it later.

5. Create the practice tables and insert source data

Execute the following commands on the <source> system only.

� Go to SQL Server Management Studio, select your database and select New Query

from the toolbar.

� If the correct database is not displayed in the drop down box (showing ggsdata above), click on the arrow and select it from the list.

� Click the File > Open and navigate to the demo_mss_create.sql script.

� Click Open to open the script in the New Query window.

� Execute the script by clicking the Execute Query button on the toolbar.

� Verify the results using the following commands in the input window:

sp_help tcustmer go sp_help tcustord go

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 13

� Click the X button to close the input tab. Click New Query whenever you need to run another SQL command.

� Following the steps you used to execute the table create script, run the demo_mss_insert.sql script to insert source data into the source tcustmer and

tcustord tables.

Note! Run this on the source only.

� Verify the results as you did before.

� Leave the SQL Management Studio running on the source system.

Install replication components for SQL Server 2005

Installing replication components sets up the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Distributor database

and Publisher. This is not needed if you meet the following conditions:

� You have installed MicroSoft’s Cumulative Update 6 (CU6) for SQL Server 2005.

� You are running GoldenGate version 9.5.1.15 or higher.

If you do not meet both of these conditions, replication components must be installed on your <source> system in order to capture changes generated by SQL Server 2005. Unless your

instructor indicates that these components have already been installed and configured,

perform the workshop SQL Server 2005 Replication Components before proceeding to the

next section.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 14

Prepare for transaction logging

To support GoldenGate extraction, the following are required. Execute these steps on the <source> system only.

���� Log truncation and non-logged bulk copy must be turned off.

���� The SQL Server database must be set to the full recovery model (this is the default for

SQL Server 2005).

���� At least one full database backup must be done before GoldenGate processes are

started for the first time.

���� Additional log data must be enabled so GoldenGate can reconstruct update

operations.

� Microsoft SQL Server 2005 replication components must be installed (previous step).

6. Turn off log truncation and bulk copy

In SQL Management Studio on the source system perform the following steps to turn off log

truncation and bulk copy.

� Clear the input window and then use the following command to check the status of

the log truncation option. Type the command in the input window (upper window),

then click the F5 key to execute it.

exec sp_dboption '<database>', 'trunc. log on chkpt.'

� The following response appears in the results (lower) window with a status of either ON or OFF.

If log truncation is ON, turn it off by executing the following command.

exec sp_dboption '<database>', 'trunc. log on chkpt.', false

The output should now show a CurrentSetting of OFF’.

� Check the status of the non-logged bulk copy option by executing the following command:

exec sp_dboption '<database>', 'select into/bulkcopy'

If non-logged bulk copy is on, disable it with the following command:

exec sp_dboption '<database>', ' select into/bulkcopy ', false

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 15

7. Execute backup

Still in SQL Server Management Studio:

� In the console tree, right-click the database name and select Tasks > Backup

.

� The Back Up Database dialog box displays. If the back up destination is correct, skip the next two bulleted steps and initiate the backup as explained in the last step. If it is not correct, change the backup destination and click ADD.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 16

� The Select Backup Destination appears, where you can select File Name and then

click the navigation (...) button to navigate to a directory and specify the backup file

name.

� Click OK to close the Select Backup Destination dialog box. The backup file is added to the Destination list box in the SQL Server Backup dialog box.

� Click OK to start the backup. This procedure ensures that no transaction log information is lost when GoldenGate starts up.

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 17

8. Set up capture of additional log data

Perform the following steps on the source system to configure the database to log full before

and after images for each update operation.

� From the source operating system's command shell, run GGSCI.

� Log into the database with the following command:

GGSCI > DBLOGIN SOURCEDB <dsn>, USERID <login>, PASSWORD <password>

� Issue the following commands to force the logging of the full before and after image

for updates.

GGSCI > ADD TRANDATA <owner/schema>.tcustmer GGSCI > ADD TRANDATA <owner/schema>.tcustord

� Verify that supplemental logging has been turned on for these tables.

GGSCI> INFO TRANDATA <owner/schema>.tcust*

Note: With SQL Server 2005 you cannot drop tables that have TRANDATA set. First

you must delete the TRANDATA setting.

Create source definitions

9. Configure source definition generator

Execute the following commands on the <source> system.

� Bring up the DEFGEN parameter file in the editor.

GGSCI> EDIT PARAM DEFGEN

� Type in the parameters shown below.

DEFSFILE ./dirdef/source.def, PURGE SOURCEDB <dsn>, USERID <login>, PASSWORD <password> TABLE <owner/schema>.TCUSTMER; TABLE <owner/schema>.TCUSTORD;

� Exit from GGSCI.

GGSCI> EXIT

10. Execute the source definition generator

Execute the source definition generator from the Windows command prompt.

Shell> defgen paramfile .\dirprm\defgen.prm

Prepare the Environment

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � 18

11. Transfer the source definition file to the target system

Execute the following commands on the <source> system to transfer the definition file to the

<target> system.

The cd command should be set to the <target> location and the lcd to the <source> location.

Shell> ftp <target> Name (<target>:<login>): <login> Password: <password> ftp> ascii ftp> cd <install loc>/dirdef ftp> lcd <install loc>/dirdef ftp> put source.def ftp> bye

Note: To avoid overlaying existing definition files, always put the file as <db type>.def

instead of source.def (e.g. MSSQL.def).

Disable SQL Server Log Reader Agent job

12. Stop and disable the job

The Log Reader Agent job cannot run concurrently with the GoldenGate Extract process.

Perform the following steps to stop and disable this job.

� In SQL Server Management Studio, connect to the SQL Server 2005 instance.

� Start SQL Server Agent, if not running.

� Expand the SQL Server Agent folder.

� Expand the Jobs folder.

� Find the job that was created by the ADD TRANDATA command. The name is based

on the server, instance, and database name, plus the iteration of the publication.It will look similar to the following: KTANCO\SQL2005-SQLLBE_SRC-1

� Right click the job and select Stop Job.

� Right click the job again and select Disable.

Prepare your DB2 target environment
