Demonstration of transformation

Note: Before proceeding, make certain the SharePlex demonstration objects are installed. See Prework for the demonstrations .

In this demonstration, you will use a supplied transformation procedure to have SharePlex replicate data from two separate source tables and apply it to one target table.

Prepare the objects

Note: In this demonstration, the demonstration objects are assumed to be in the schema named demo. Substitute the actual schema, if different.

Perform the following steps to prepare the objects:

  1. If you ran previous demonstrations, do the following:

    1. On the source and target, run sp_ctrl and issue the following command to shut down sp_cop.

      sp_ctrl (source) shutdown

      sp_ctrl (target) shutdown

    2. On the source and target, run the ora_cleansp utility according to the instructions provided in SharePlex Reference Guide. This removes the queues from the previous demonstrations and deactivates the previous configuration.
  2. On the source and target, TRUNCATE the od_employee and od_salary tables.

    SQL> truncate table demo.od_employee;

    SQL> truncate table demo.od_salary;

  3. On the target, grant the user who owns the demonstration objects the system privilege to execute the sp_cr package, which was installed in the SharePlex schema when SharePlex was first installed.

    SQL> grant execute on sp_cr to user_name

  4. On the target, log into SQL*Plus as the user who owns the SharePlex demonstration objects, then run the transform.sql script from the util sub-directory of the SharePlex product directory. This installs transformation routines named od_transform_employee_insert and od_transform_employee_update. You are prompted for:

    • a schema and tablespace
    • the name of the SharePlex database user

Configure SharePlex

Perform the following steps to configure SharePlex:

  1. On the target, open the transformation.SID file (where SID is the ORACLE_SID of the target database) in a text editor. This file is located in the data sub-directory in the SharePlex variable-data directory.

    Note: Post checks this file to determine if there is a transformation procedure that it must call instead of posting the operation to the database.

  2. Create the following entries in the transformation.SID file.

    Separate each column with at least a few spaces or a tab character.

    demo.od_employee

    I

    demo.od_transform_employee_insert

    demo.od_employee

    U

    demo.od_transform_employee_update

    demo.od_salary

    I

    demo.od_transform_employee_insert

    demo.od_salary

    U

    demo.od_transform_employee_update

    Note: The components of each entry are as follows, in the order they must appear:

    • The target table to which a transformation procedure is assigned.
    • The operation type for which the specified transformation procedure will be called.
    • The name of the assigned transformation procedure to use. Multiple entries can be used to assign different procedures to different operation types for the same table.
  3. On the target, enable the following parameter.

    sp_ctrl(target)> set param SP_OPO_XFORM_EXCLUDE_ROWID 1

  4. On the source, create a configuration file named od.transform that replicates the od_salary and od_employee tables.

    sp_ctrl(source)> create config od_transform

  5. In the text editor, build your configuration file based on the following template.

    datasource:o.source_SID

     

     

    demo.od_salary

    demo.od_salary

    target_system@o.target_SID

    demo.od_employee

    demo.od_employee

    target_system@o.target_SID

  6. Save the file, then exit the editor. SharePlex automatically saves the file in the config sub-directory.

Activate and start replication

Perform the following steps to activate and start replication:

  1. On the source, activate the configuration.

    sp_ctrl(source)> activate config od_transform
  2. Confirm that the configuration activated successfully. The name od_transform should appear under File Name, and the word Active should appear under State.

    sp_ctrl(source)>list config

  3. On the source, log in as the demo schema owner, then execute the od_add_emps procedure to populate the od_employee and od_salary tables. Use an IN parameter of 10 to create 50 new employees in the od_sales_emp_data table.

    SQL> exec od_add_emps(10);

View the transformed data

Perform the following steps to view the transformed data:

  1. On the target, run SQL*Plus.
  2. In SQL*Plus, select all rows from od_sales_emp_data.

  3. View the transformed data. You should see the following results:

    • The EMPLOYEE_NAME column contains the first and last name of the employee. Compare this to the source od_employee table, where the first and last names are in separate columns.
    • The DEPARTMENT column contains the department name. Compare this to the source od_employee table, where the EMP_DEPT_NO column contains a number. The transformation procedure transformed the replicated department number into the department name by referencing the od_department table.
    • The SALARY column contains the salary from the od_salary table.
  4. [OPTIONAL] To see how transformation works for UPDATEs, you can update the od_employee table manually. The od_transform_employee_update procedure will make the transformation. To further this demonstration, you may construct a transformation procedure for DELETEs.

Demonstration of conflict resolution

Demonstration of conflict resolution for Oracle

Note: Before proceeding, make certain the SharePlex demonstration objects are installed. See Prework for the demonstrations .

In this demonstration, you will configure SharePlex to use generic conflict resolution procedures to resolve a replication conflict. Generic conflict resolution allows you to use one PL/SQL procedure to resolve conflicts for multiple tables.

The following conflict-resolution strategies are demonstrated:

  • Timestamp priority – This demonstration is based on UPDATEs. Whichever row was updated LAST takes priority when there is a conflict.
  • Trusted-source priority – In the following steps, you will define one system as the “trusted” source that takes priority in the event of a conflict. This demonstration is based on INSERTs. All INSERTs that originate on the trusted source will override INSERTs from the other system. In this demonstration, the trusted source is peer1 and the other system is peer2.

IMPORTANT! Peer-to-peer replication is not compatible with all business applications. When suitable for an environment, it requires careful analysis and execution, including the creation of custom conflict resolution procedures that are typically more complex than those in this demonstration. Do not use this demonstration as the foundation of a production peer-to-peer deployment. For more information about peer-to-peer replication, see SharePlex Administration Guide.

Prepare the objects

Note: In this demonstration, the demonstration objects are assumed to be in the schema named demo. Substitute the actual schema, if different.

Perform these steps on both systems (for both databases).

  1. Run sp_ctrl.
  2. Shut down SharePlex.

    sp_ctrl(peer1)> shutdown

  3. Run the ora_cleansp utility according to the instructions in SharePlex Reference Guide. This removes the queues from the previous demonstrations and deactivates the previous configuration.
  4. TRUNCATE  the od_employee tables.
  5. Grant the user who owns the demonstration objects the system privilege to execute the sp_cr package, which was installed in the SharePlex schema when SharePlex was first installed.

    SQL>grant execute on sp_cr to user_name

  6. Log into SQL*Plus as the user who owns the SharePlex demonstration objects.
  7. Run the p2p.sql script from the util sub-directory of the SharePlex product directory. This installs the od_employee_gen demonstration conflict resolution routine.

    You are prompted for the following:

    • A schema and tablespace for the procedure
    • The name of the SharePlex database user.
    • The name of the system that will be the trusted source of accurate data. As in a production deployment, operations the trusted source take priority during a conflict. This system is known as peer1 in this demonstration. The other system is known as peer2 in this demonstration.

Configure SharePlex

Perform the following steps to configure SharePlex:

  1. On each system, open the conflict_resolution.SID file (where SID is the ORACLE_SID of the local database) in a text editor. This file is located in the data sub-directory of the SharePlex variable-data directory.

    Note: Post checks this file when there is a replication conflict to determine if there is a resolution procedure to call.

  2. On each system, create the following entries in the conflict_resolution.SID file. Separate each column with at least a few spaces or a tab character.

    demo.od_employee IUD demo.od_employee_gen

    Note: The first component is a table, the second specifies the operation types for which a resolution routine will be called if there is a conflict on that table, and the third is the name of the resolution routine that will be used.

  3. On each system, start sp_cop.
  4. On each system, start sp_ctrl.
  5. On peer1 (the trusted source), create a configuration file named od_peer1 that replicates the od_employee table to the od_employee table on peer2.

    sp_ctrl(peer1)> create config od_peer1

    demo.od_employee demo.od_employee peer2@o.SID
  6. On peer2 (the secondary source), create a configuration file named od.peer2 that replicates the od_employee table to the od_employee table on peer1.

    sp_ctrl(peer2)> create config od_peer2

    demo.od_employee demo.od_employee peer1@o.SID

NOTE: In order for post to detect out-of-sync inserts where all columns are identical, set SP_OPO_SUPPRESSED_OOS to 0. Issue this command from sp_ctrl: set param SP_OPO_SUPPRESSED_OOS 0 and verify the parameter is set by using the list param modified command.

Activate and start replication

Perform the following steps to activate and start replication:

  1. On peer1, activate the od_peer1 configuration.

    sp_ctrl(peer1)> activate od_peer1
  2. On peer2, activate the od_peer2 configuration.

    sp_ctrl(peer2)> activate od_peer2
  3. On each system, confirm that the configuration activated successfully. The name od_peer1 or od_peer2 (depending on the system) should appear under File Name, and the word Active should appear under State.

    sp_ctrl(source)>list config

Demonstrate trusted-source priority

In this demonstration, an INSERT that originates on peer1 will override a conflicting INSERT that is replicated from peer2.

  1. On both systems, stop the Post process.
  2. On both systems, log in to SQL*Plus as demo (the owner of the demonstration objects).
  3. On peer2, insert a row into od_employee but do not issue a COMMIT.

    SQL (peer2) > INSERT INTO OD_EMPLOYEE VALUES (1,'John','Doe',to_date('04/01/1949','MM/DD/RRRR'),1,to_date('01/01/2017','MM/DD/RRRR'));

  4. On peer1, insert the same row (same values) but do not issue a COMMIT.

    SQL (peer1) > INSERT INTO OD_EMPLOYEE VALUES (1,'John','Doe',to_date('04/01/1949','MM/DD/RRRR'),1,to_date('01/01/2017','MM/DD/RRRR'));

  5. On both systems, restart the Post processes.
  6. On peer2, issue the COMMIT.
  7. On peer1, issue the COMMIT. This operation should generate a conflict, which Post resolves automatically based on instructions in the conflict_resolution.SID file.
  8. On both systems, view the demo.exc_table to verify that the conflict was resolved. See View the conflict resolution results.

Demonstrate timestamp priority

In this demonstration, whichever row was updated LAST takes priority when there is a conflict.

Note: The EMP_TIMESTAMP field, along with the other columns, must be modified to a non-null value in order for timestamp priority to function. The stored procedure won't be able to resolve the conflict if the timestamp column in the UPDATE statement is not being updated or is being modified to a null value. Out-of-sync problems will then be seen.

  1. On both systems, stop the Post process.
  2. On both systems, log in to SQL*Plus as demo (the owner of the demonstration objects).
  3. On peer1, UPDATE the EMP_FIRST_NAME and EMP_TIMESTAMP columns of the od_employee table as follows.

    SQL (peer1) > UPDATE OD_EMPLOYEE SET EMP_FIRST_NAME = 'James', EMP_TIMESTAMP = to_date('01/01/2017','MM/DD/RRRR') WHERE EMP_NO = 1;

  4. On peer2, UPDATE the same column using a different update values. but the same key value.

    SQL (peer2) > UPDATE OD_EMPLOYEE SET EMP_FIRST_NAME = 'Harry', EMP_TIMESTAMP = to_date('02/02/2017','MM/DD/RRRR') WHERE EMP_NO = 1;

  5. On both systems, issue COMMITs at the same time.

  6. On both systems, view the post queue to make sure the update operation is in the queue. You will see a message in each queue.

    sp_ctrl(peer1)>qstatus

    sp_ctrl(peer2)>qstatus

  7. On both systems, start the Post process.
  8. On both systems, select the row that you updated to verify that it contains the more recent EMP_TIMESTAMP value.

View the conflict resolution results

A table named exc_table was installed in the schema that you specified when you installed the demonstration objects. You can view it through SQL*Plus to view information about each conflict. The following is the table description.

Column Description
EXC_NO The exception number of the conflict.
EXC_TYPE The type of SQL statement, whether INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE.
EXC_TARGET_TABLE The table on which the conflict occurred.
EXC_FIXED

The results of the conflict resolution routine. YES means that the routine was successful. NO means that the routine failed and the row needs to be manually changed to the correct value.

EXC_INFO The cause of the conflict.
EXC_TIMESTAMP The time that the conflict occurred on this machine.

Demonstration of Oracle DDL replication

This demonstration shows the default DDL replication support that is enabled when SharePlex is installed. You can enable other DDL replication with parameters, as needed.

Note: This demonstration supports Oracle source and targets only.

Verify that DDL replication is enabled

On the source, verify that the SP_OCT_REPLICATE_DDL parameter is set to the default of 3. This parameter controls basic DDL replication.

sp_ctrl(source)>list param modified capture

The SP_OCT_REPLICATE_DDL parameter should not be listed in the output. If it is, issue the following command:

sp_ctrl(source)>reset param SP_OCT_REPLICATE_DDL

Test DDL replication

Perform the following steps to test DDL replication:

  1. On the source, TRUNCATE splex.demo_src to make certain it is empty.

    SQL> truncate table splex.demo_src;

    SharePlex replicates the TRUNCATE command to the target.

  2. On the source, add a column to splex.demo_src.

    SQL> alter table splex.demo_src add (department varchar2(30) not null default 'unknown');

  3. On the target, describe the splex.demo_dest table.

    SQL> describe splex.demo_src;

    The table should now contain four columns, including the new department column.

  4. On the source, drop the department column.

    SQL> alter table splex.demo_src drop column department;

  5. On the target, describe the splex.demo_dest table.

    SQL> describe splex.demo_src;

    The table should now contain only the original three columns.

Database Setup Utilities

The Database Setup utilities automatically configure a source or target database to allow SharePlex connections and to establish required database components that support replication.
