The following is the high level documentation of Oracle 11g GoldenGate installation on 64-bit RHEL 5 u3.

As time progress, I will be updating

this document. Please refer to server 210 and 211 for your reference.
Install OS
I used OS RHEL5 u3 64-bit to build two servers. However because of the rpm requirement, it is best if you work on 64-bit CentOS 5.6 as your Operating
System. My server names are Linux-VM-210 and Linux-VM-211 which was built using automatic partitioning with all the packages during the initial
installation.
The following group of packages can be selected
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0:
Desktop Environment:
GNOME Desktop Environment
Application:
Editors
Graphical Internet
Text-based Internet
Development:
Development Libraries
Development Tools
Servers
Server Configuration Tools
Base System
Administration Tools
Base
System Tools
X Window System

Make sure both server has hostnames recorded in /etc/hosts.

Make sure times are same on both servers, if not change it. Below is an example on how to change the time and sync it with BIOS time.
date -s "12/28/2010 02:32:00"
clock -w

Install oracle 11g R2

The following technical notes shows how to install and create 11g R2 database on CentOS. You can use this a guide to install Oracle 11.2.0.2 software on
a VMWare.

From the above document, we are assuming that the following directories are created and oracle:oinstall has the correct permissions. If not create and
grant proper permission as below:
mkdir -p /u01 /u02 /u03 /u04 /u05 /u14 /u15 /u16 /u17 /u18 /u99
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01 /u02 /u03 /u04 /u05 /u14 /u15 /u16 /u17 /u18 /u99
chmod -R 775 /u02 /u03 /u04 /u05 /u14 /u15 /u16 /u17 /u18 /u99

Download 11.2.0.2 Software for 64-bit Linux and install Oracle Software Only.
mkdir -p /u99/software/DB/11g/11.2.0.2/64-bit/
scp 192.168.0.223:/u99/software/DB/11g/11.2.0.2/64-bit/* /u99/software/DB/11g/11.2.0.2/64-bit/.
cd /u99/software/DB/11g/11.2.0.2/64-bit/
Download 11g GG Software.

What is Golden Gate?

Oracle GoldenGate enables the exchange and manipulation of data at the transaction level among multiple, heterogeneous (Oracle, DB2, SQL Server,
Ingres, MySQL) platforms across the enterprise. Oracle Goldengate can be used as a replication tool, ETL, and even as a DR solution. GoldenGate
enables us to extract and replicate data across a variety of topologies as shown the diagram below as well as the exchange and manipulation of data at the
transactional level between different databases.

Oracle GoldenGate is composed of the following components:

Extract: The Extract process runs on the source system and is the extraction (capture) mechanism of Oracle GoldenGate.
Data pump: A data pump is a secondary Extract group within the source Oracle GoldenGate configuration. The data pump reads this trail and sends the
data over the network to a remote trail on the target. DATA PUMP is an optional extract.
Replicat: The Replicat process runs on the target system. Replicat reads extracted data changes and DDL changes (if supported) that are specified in
the Replicat configuration, and then it replicates them to the target database
Trails or extract files: To support the continuous extraction and replication of database changes, Oracle GoldenGate stores the captured changes
temporarily on disk in a series of files called a trail. A trail can exist on the source or target system, or on an intermediary system, depending on how you
configure Oracle GoldenGate. On the local system it is known as an extract trail (or local trail). On a remote system it is known as a remote trail.

Trail files are created as needed during processing, and they are aged automatically to allow processing to continue without interruption for file
maintenance. By default, each file in a trail is 10 MB in size.
Checkpoints: Checkpoints store the current read and write positions of a process to disk for recovery purposes. These checkpoints ensure that data
changes that are marked for synchronization actually are extracted by Extract and replicated by Replicat, and they prevent redundant processing. They
provide fault tolerance by preventing the loss of data should the system, the network, or an Oracle GoldenGate process need to be restarted.
Manager: Manager is the control process of Oracle GoldenGate. Manager must be running on each system in the Oracle GoldenGate configuration
before Extract or Replicat can be started, and Manager must remain running while those processes are running so that resource management functions
are performed. Manager performs the following functions:

Collector: Collector is a process that runs in the background on the target system. Collector receives extracted database changes that are sent across
the TCP/IP network, and it writes them to a trail or extract file. Typically, Manager starts Collector automatically when a network connection is required.
When Manager starts Collector, the process is known as a dynamic Collector, and Oracle GoldenGate users generally do not interact with it. However, you
can run Collector manually. This is known as a static Collector. Not all Oracle GoldenGate configurations use a Collector process.

Oracle 11g GoldenGate Installation starts from here.

Verification:
--------------On Source Server
sq
create table sender.emp as select * from scott.emp;
DECLARE
v_count number := 0;
BEGIN
LOOP
EXIT WHEN v_count > 16;
INSERT INTO sender.emp
SELECT * FROM sender.emp;
COMMIT;
v_count := v_count + 1;
END LOOP;
END;
/
select count(*) from sender.emp;
--On Destination Server
sq

select count(*) from receiver.emp;

Numbers should match.

I have the following:
--On Source:
SQL> select count(*) from receiver.emp;
COUNT(*)
---------7340032
SQL> !hostname
Linux-VM-GG-211
--On Destination:
SQL> select count(*) from receiver.emp;
COUNT(*)
---------7340032
SQL> !hostname
Linux-VM-GG-211

That's it. You just created Uni-Directional Replication using Oracle GoldenGate.
