SharePlex 11.0 - SharePlex Installation and Setup Guide

Set up replication from Oracle to MySQL

Set up Replication from Oracle to MySQL or Aurora

Overview

SharePlex can post replicated Oracle data to a MySQL or Aurora target database through an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface.

These instructions contain setup instructions that are specific to this target. Install SharePlex on the source and target according to the appropriate directions in this manual before performing these setup steps.

For the versions, data types and operations that are supported when using SharePlex to replicate to this target, see the SharePlex Release Notes.

Install SharePlex

Important! If replicating to MySQL or Aurora on a PaaS cloud server (no access to the operating system), see the installation instructions in Installation and setup for cloud-hosted databases.

Review column names

To support replication between a source of one database type and a target of another type, the letter case of the names of the source and target columns must be the same, for example the column names on both sides in lower case or both sides in upper case. If the case differs between the source and target column names, use the column mapping feature to map the column names in the configuration file.

See SharePlex Administration Guide for more information about column mapping with SharePlex.

Configure SharePlex on the source

Set up SharePlex and the database on the Oracle source system as follows.

Make keys available to SharePlex

To replicate from an Oracle source to an Open Target target, you must make key information available to SharePlex.

Enable Oracle supplemental logging

Enable PK/UK supplemental logging in the Oracle source database. SharePlex must have the Oracle key information to build an appropriate key on the target.

Set SP_OCT_USE_SUPP_KEYS parameter

Set the SP_OCT_USE_SUPP_KEYS parameter to a value of 1. This parameter directs SharePlex to use the columns set by Oracle's supplemental logging as the key columns when a row is updated or deleted. When both supplemental logging and this parameter are set, it ensures that SharePlex can always build a key and that the SharePlex key will match the Oracle key.

See the SharePlex Reference Guide for more information about this parameter.

Configure replication

On the source, create a SharePlex configuration file that specifies capture and routing information.

where:

* Important! If target owner or table name is defined in the database as anything other than UPPERCASE, be certain to:

• Type the name in the correct case.

• Enclose the name in quotation marks, for example "MySchema"."MyTable".

• To support replication between a source of one database type and a target of another type, the letter case of the names of the source and target columns must be the same, for example the column names on both sides in lower case or both sides in upper case. If the case differs between the source and target column names, use the column mapping feature to map the column names in the configuration file.

Note: This is a basic one-source, one-target configuration using no additional SharePlex configuration features. See "Configure SharePlex to replicate data" in the SharePlex Administration Guide for important information about creating a configuration file and for additional setup instructions for more complex replication scenarios.

Source configuration example

The following configuration file replicates table HR.Emp from Oracle instance ora112 to target table region1.emp in database mydb on target system sysprod. The source table is case-sensitive.

Configure SharePlex on the target

Perform the following steps to configure SharePlex on the target:

1. Make certain that the database setup meets all of the requirements in Open Target Checklist .

2. Run Database Setup for MySQL (mysql_setup) to establish a database account and connection information for SharePlex. For more information, see Database Setup for MySQL.
