goldengate logdump



Oracle Goldengate is a software for real-time data integration and replication in heterogeneous IT Systems.


 


Logdump is a standard utility that comes with the Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) application. Logdump enables the user to view and scan for transactions and records, obtain transaction statistics, and save data contained within OGG Trails. In this article we shall present examples of the Oracle GoldenGate Log File Dump Utility version 12.1.2 functionality that aid in troubleshooting data issues, determining database recovery points, and OGG group load balancing.


 


What are Trail Files?
Extract Process (GoldenGate Component) all operations in each committed transactions in a file called as Trail File.





 Logdump Utility
Oracle GoldenGate Software includes the Logdump Utility for viewing data directly from the trail files.


The File Header contains a wealth of information about the physical environment that produced the Trail file and Trail file contents. This information includes:


GroupID
Tokens
Trail Info
Signature, Compatibility, Character Set, Creation Time, URI, URI History, File Name, Multi-part, Trail Sequence Number, File Size, First CSN, Last CSN, First IO Time, Last IO Time, Log BSN
Machine Info
Operating System Name, Node Name, Release, Version, Hardware
Database Info
Vendor, Name, Character Set, Major Version, Minor Version, Version String, Client Character Set, Client Version String, Client NCharacter Set, Db Locale, Db NCharacter Set, Db Object Metadata, Db Time Zone
Producer Info
Name, Data Source, Major Version, Minor Version, Maintenance Level, Bug Fix Level, Build Number, Version String
Continuity Info
Recovery Mode
 


Each source operation captured is encapsulated into a unique transaction record. This record consists of a GoldenGate Header (GHDR), variable length data area, and GGS and User Tokens.
GHDR
The GoldenGate Header, or GHDR, area details information about the source operation and transaction. This includes the source commit timestamp (IO Time token), record length, database operation type (IO Type), whether this record is a before or after data image, and source table name. The GHDR also contains information that denotes each record as the beginning record of a transaction, the ending record of a transaction, a record between the beginning and end of a transaction, or a single record transaction.


Data Area
The variable length data area contains the atomic data for the source database operation. This includes the column index number and data changed for an after image, or original column data for a before image.


GGS Tokens


GoldenGate Tokens written for each transaction record include the source database row id, source database change number (LOGCSN), and source database transaction id (TRANID).
User Tokens


User Tokens are data defined by the user and added to the Trail via the Extract @TOKEN column conversion function
Without the Logdump, it is not possible to read the content of the Oracle GoldenGate trail files, as the trail files are in a binary format. With Logdump, we can open up the trail file, read its content, navigate through the file, view transactions at different RBA’s (relative byte address – file position), help identify the type of commands (DML or DDL) issued on the source, including delete, insert, update, alter and create statements.


Hence Logdump Utility is most important utility in troubleshooting GoldenGate Issues.


To invoke the utility, go to the GoldenGate home directory and type “logdump”, as shown in the following example.


[oracle@dbserver1 ggs]$ ./logdump


LogDump Commands:
1. How to open LogDump: Navigate to the directory where the Oracle GoldenGate Software is installed and execute the Logdump.

[GoldenGate]$ $GG_HOME/logdump


2. Opening a Trail File:  To open a trail file and read its content, specify the trail file at the logdump prompt. Trail files are usually found in the GoldenGate dirdat directory.

$ ls -lrt
$GG_HOME/dirdat
$-rw-rw-rw- 1 oracle oinstall 78325 Dec 7 10:38 AA000001
$-rw-rw-rw- 1 oracle oinstall 78325 Dec 7 10:42 AA000002
$-rw-rw-rw- 1 oracle oinstall 78325 Dec 7 10:55 AA000003



You can also determine the current trail file directory/name by running the “INFO process_name” command at the ggsci prompt.


3. Open and view the details of local trail file:

Logdump> OPEN ./dirdat/AA000001


Change the file name and location as required.


4. Set Output Format: Enable the following options so that you are able to view the results in a readable format in your Logdump session.


a) Set trail file header details on: The FILEHEADER contains the header details of the currently opened trail file.


Logdump> FILEHEADER DETAIL


b) Record Header:
The tokens FirstCSN and LastCSN identify the beginning and ending CSN (SCN for Oracle Databases) for transaction records in this trail. This may come in handy should you ever need to perform a database recovery or start an OGG Group that reads the Trail at a specific CSN.
The LastCSN token is only populated when a Trail has been closed by its Extract. Trails are closed only when an Extract opens and begins writing to a new trail. If an Extract is in the STOPPED or ABEND state, or you are viewing the most current Trail; this token will contain no data.


Logdump> GHDR ON or view GHDR


c) Set Column Details on: It displays the list of columns, their ID, length, Hex values etc.

The GHDR identifies this record as an After Image (BeforeAfter),"lenth" bytes in length (RecLength), was committed in the source database at on "Tansation time" (IO Time), is the start of a multi-record transaction (TransInd 0), and is an insert operation (IOType) to the table EAST.CATEGORIES (Name).
The remaining data is the hexadecimal representation of the inserted record and table column index information. From this view of the data we cannot determine much about this transaction record, so lets display two additional options.
Once again the GHDR and Data records are displayed, along with the data for each record column, the Oracle Row Id of the source data, the source database CSN for this transaction, and the source database Transaction Id.



Logdump> DETAIL ON


d) User Token Details: User token is the user-defined information stored in a trail, associated with the table mapping statements. The CSN (SCN in Oracle Database) associated with the transaction is available in this section.


Logdump> USERTOKEN DETAIL


e) Set length of the record to be displayed: In this case, it is 128 characters.

Logdump> RECLEN 128


5. Viewing the records: To view particular records in the trail files, navigate as below in the local trail file.


a) First record in the trail file: Here “0” is the beginning of the trail file


Logdump> POS 0


b) Move to a specific record, at a particular RBA
The “xxxx” is the RBA number.


Logdump> POS xxxx


c) Next record in the opened trail file
Logdump> N
Or
Logdump> NEXT


d) Moving forward or reverse in the trail file
Logdump> POS FORWARD
or
Logdump> POS REVERSE


e) Skip certain number of records
Here ‘x’ is the number of records you want to skip.


Logdump> SKIP x


f) Last record in the trail file
Logdump> POS last


6. Filter Commands:


We can use filter commands to view the specific operations or data records, a record at a specific RBA, the record length, record type, etc. using the commands below.


To start filtration, use the “filter” keyword, followed by include or exclude. These options allow the data to be removed or shown, based on the filter criteria. Then apply other conditionslike file name, rectype, iotype etc. Here rectype is record type and iotype is input output type.


There are number of operation we can filter using the Logdump. To view the list of operation types and the number assigned to them, run below command.


a) Show the Record Types


Logdump> SHOW RECTYPE


b) Enable or disable filteration:

Logdump> FILTER [ ENABLE | DISABLE ]


Filter Records by Table Name


Logdump> FILTER INCLUDE FILENAME CC_APP.IMAGE_DETAIL


c) Filter Records by Operation Type: Operation types are Insert, Update, and Delete.


Logdump> FILTER INCLUDE IOTYPE INSERT


d) Filter Records using the operation number
You can specify the IOTYPE by using the equivalent operation number.


Logdump 374> FILTER INCLUDE IOTYPE 160
Logdump 374> N
n
Sample Output:

2013/02/18 00:36:05.000.000 DDLOP Len 1169 RBA 3049
Name:
After Image: Partition 0 G s

Filtering suppressed 2 records


Note: Here 160 represent DDL operation and in the detail, we can sAA the DDL type like below is “CREATE” and suppressed means number of records skipped to reach next filter value.


e) View currently applied filters


Logdump> FILTER SHOW

Sample output:
Data filters are ENABLED

Include Match ANY
Rectypes: DDLOP

Exclude Match ANY


f) Filter on multiple conditions:
We can filter the data of trail file using the multiple conditions together.


For that we can string multiple FILTER commands together, separating each one with a semicolon, as shown in the below example:


Logdump>FILTER INCLUDE FILENAME [SCHEMA].[TABLE]; FILTER RECTYPE 5; FILTER INCLUDE IOTYPE INSERT
The above example will display only “5”,” insert” statement records from the specified table.

Note: [SCHEMA] & [TABLE] is the name of the schema and table, and should be in upper case.

g) Clear the filter in the session
Logdump> FILTER CLEAR



Save Records To New Trail File
To save the records to a new Trail file, first let's make sure we are at the initial record associated with the CSN. As shown prior, position Logdump at the beginning of the Trail file with the command pos 0 and then scan to the first record via the n command. This displays the Insert record for vishalbh.vb at RBA 73658 in the Trail. To make sure this record is saved to the new Trail, we need to position the Logdump read pointer to the record prior to this one.
Set Logdump to read the Trail in reverse, pos rev, and then scan for the header of the previous record, sfh. This displays the previous record, a DDL operation performed on the vishalbh.vb table at RBA 73495 in the Trail.
From this point in the Trail file, have Logdump read forward via the pos for command. To save the records to a new trail named zz999999, issue the command save ./dirdat/zz999999 2 records. The new Trail file will be created and will contain the header record and the two data records associated with the source database CSN.


 


 




 





 





 


How to use multiple paths during expdp& impdp

How to use multiple paths during expdp& impdp


If your export size volume is huge than you may need to split export files instead of a single FS. In this case, We need to use the multiple directories feature of EXPDP or IMPDP utility.
By using this feature, We can create multiple dump files in multiple directories and distribute our logical export to different directories on the operating system.
In my case, my DB version in 11.2.0.4 and my os is Linux 6
So here is the demo:

1. Create a related folder on os. Consider two directories named exp1 and exp2
vishal@vishalbh# mkdir -p /u01/exp1

vishal@vishalbh# mkdir -p /u02/exp2
2. Create 2 directories from sqlplus
SQL > create or replace directory EXPDIR1 as '/u01/exp1';
Directory created.
SQL > create or replace directory EXPDIR2 as '/u02/exp2';

Directory created.3. Check the directories
SQL > select * from dba_directories;
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME                     DIRECTORY_PATH
-------------------------               -------------------    --------------------
SYS                                       EXPDIR1            /u01/exp1
SYS                                       EXPDIR2            /u02/exp2
Now take logical backup using multiple directories.

vishal@vishalbh# expdp \'/ as sysdba\' dumpfile=EXPDIR1:expdp_to_path1_%U.dmp,EXPDIR2:expdp_to_path2_%U.dmp compression=all parallel=2 schema=XXX
Let us check multiple dump files will be created or not.
vishal@vishalbh# pwd
/u01/exp1

vishal@vishalbh# pwdls -ltr
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 5420000 Oct 03 02:34 expdp_datapump_01.dmp
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 420000 Oct 03 02:34 expdp_datapump_02.dmp

vishal@vishalbh# pwd
/u02/exp2

bash-3.2$ ls -ltr
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 7420000 Oct 03 02:34 expdp_datapump_03.dmp
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 620000 Oct 03 02:34 expdp_datapump_04.dmp

Here are some important points:
1. The parallel parameter must be used while using multiple directories, otherwise expdp will not fail but it will write to the only first directory.
2. The number of directories used must be equal to the parallel parameter then only all directories will be used for writing.
If you want to use those export on a different server by using multiple paths, then you need to follow below syntax:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/impdp "'/ as sysdba'" logfile=EXPDIR1:test_imp.LOG dumpfile=EXPDIR1:test_01

Oracle Exadata Storage : Few Words

Here is a brief overview of the Oracle Exadata Storage Server key performance attributes:

Intelligent Storage : Ship less data due to query intelligence in the storage.
Bigger Pipes.         : Infiniband with Remote Direct Memory Access. 5x Faster than Fibre Channel.
More Pipes.           : Scalable, redundant I/O Fabric.

Yes, it’s called Oracle Exadata Storage Server and it really was worth the wait. I know it is going to take a while for the message to settle in, but I would like to take my first blog post on the topic of Oracle Exadata Storage Server to reiterate the primary value propositions of the solution.

Exadata is fully optimized disk I/O : Full stop! For far too long, it has been too difficult to configure ample I/O bandwidth for Oracle, and far too difficult to configure storage so that the physical disk accesses are sequential.

Exadata is intelligent storage : For far too long, Oracle Database has had to ingest full blocks of data from disk for query processing, wasting precious host processor cycles to discard the uninteresting data (predicate filtering and column projection).

Oracle Exadata Storage Server is Brute Force : A Brawny solution.
A single rack of the HP Oracle Database Machine (based on Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software) is configured with 14 Oracle Exadata Storage Server “Cells” each with 12 3.5″ hard drives for a total of 168 disks. There are 300GB SAS and 1TB SATA options. The database tier of the single-rack HP Oracle Database Machine consists of 8 Proliant DL360 servers with 2 Xeon 54XX quad-core processors and 32 GB RAM running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). The RAC nodes are interconnected with Infiniband using the very lightweight Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol. RDS over Infiniband is also the I/O fabric between the RAC nodes and the Storage Cells. With the SAS storage option, the HP Oracle Database Machine offers roughly 1 terabyte of optimal user addressable space per Storage Cell-14 TB total.

Sequential I/O :

Exadata I/O is a blend of random seeks followed by a series of large transfer requests so scanning disk at rates of nearly 85 MB/s per disk drive (1000 MB/s per Storage Cell) is easily achieved. With 14 Exadata Storage Cells, the data-scanning rate is 14 GB/s. Yes, roughly 80 seconds to scan a terabyte-and that is with the base HP Oracle Database Machine configuration. Oracle Exadata Storage Software offers these scan rates on both tables and indexes and partitioning is, of course, fully supported-as is compression.

Comparison to “Old School”

Let me put Oracle Exadata Storage Server performance into perspective by drawing a comparison to Fibre Channel SAN technology. The building block of all native Fibre Channel SAN arrays is the Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FCAL) to which the disk drives are connected. Some arrays support as few as 2 of these “back-end” loops, larger arrays support as many as 64. Most, if not all, current SAN arrays support 4 Gb FCAL back-end loops which are limited to no more than 400MB/s of read bandwidth. The drives connected to the loops have front-end Fibre Channel electronics and-forgetting FC-SATA drives for a moment-the drives themselves are fundamentally the same as SAS drives-given the same capacity and rotational speed. It turns out that SAS and Fibre drives, of the 300GB 15K RPM variety, perform pretty much the same for large sequential I/O. Given the bandwidth of the drives, the task of building a SAN-based system that isn’t loop-bottlenecked requires limiting the number of drives per loop to 5 (or 10 for mirroring overhead). So, to match a single rack configuration of the HP Oracle Database Machine with a SAN solution would require about 35 back-end drive loops! All of this math boils down to one thing: a very, very large high-end SAN array.

Choices, Choices: Either the Largest SAN Array or the Smallest HP Oracle Database Machine
Only the largest of the high-end SAN arrays can match the base HP Oracle Database Machine I/O bandwidth. And this is provided the SAN array processors can actually pass through all the I/O generated from a full complement of back-end FCAL loops. Generally speaking, they just don’t have enough array processor bandwidth to do so.

Comparison to the “New Guys on the Block”
Well, they aren’t really that new. I’m talking about Netezza. Their smallest full rack has 112 Snippet Processing Units (SPU) each with a single SATA disk drive-and onboard processor and FPGA components-for a total user addressable space of 12.5 TB. If the data streamed off the SATA drives at, say, 70 MB/s, the solution offers 7.8 GB/s-42% slower than a single-rack HP Oracle Database Machine.

Big, Efficient Pipes
Oracle Exadata Storage Server delivers I/O results directly into the address space of the Oracle Database Parallel Query Option processes using the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol over Infiniband. As such, each of the Oracle Real Application Clusters nodes are able to ingest a little over a gigabyte of streaming data per second at a CPU cost of less than 5%, which is less than the typical cost of interfacing with Fibre Channel host-bus adaptors via traditional Unix/Linux I/O calls. With Oracle Exadata Storage Server, the Oracle Database host processing power is neither wasted on filtering out uninteresting data, nor plucking out columns from the rows. There would, of course, be no need to project in a colum-oriented database but Oracle Database is still row-oriented.

Oracle Exadata Storage Server is Intelligence Storage. Brainy Software.
Oracle Exadata Storage Server truly is an optimized way to stream data to Oracle Database. However, none of the traditional Oracle Database features (e.g., partitioning, indexing, compression, Backup/Restore, Disaster Protection, etc) are lost when deploying Exadata. Combining data elimination (via partitioning) with compression further exploits the core architectural strengths of Exadata. But what about this intelligence? Well, as we all know, queries don’t join all the columns and few queries ever run without a WHERE predicate for filtration. With Exadata that intelligence is offloaded to storage. Exadata Storage Cells execute intelligent software that understands how to perform filtration as well as column projection. For instance, consider a query that cites 2 columns nestled in the middle of a 100-column  row and the WHERE predicate filters out 50% of the rows. With Exadata, that is exactly what is returned to the Oracle Parallel Query processes.

Note:
  • Sun Fire X4170 M2 Oracle Database Servers ship from the factory with 96 GB of memory with 12 of the 18 DIMM slots populated with 8 GB DIMMs. The optional X2-2 Memory Expansion Kit can be used to populate the remaining 6 empty slots with 16 GB DIMMs to bring the total memory to 192 GB (12 x 8 GB and 6 x 16 GB), or replace the existing 8 GB DIMMs with 16 GB DIMMs and add memory to bring the total memory to 288 GB (18 x 16 GB).
The memory expansion kit is primarily for consolidation workloads where many databases are run on each database server. In this scenario, the CPU usage is often low while the memory usage is very high.
However, there is a downside to populating all the memory slots as the frequency of the memory DIMMs drop to 800 MHz from 1333 MHz. The performance effect of the slower memory appears as increased CPU utilization. The average measured increase in CPU utilization is typically between 5% and 10%. The increase varies greatly by workload. In test workloads, several workloads had almost zero increase, while one workload had as high as a 20% increase.
