GoldenGate Debugging

I was working on automating debug information to submit to Oracle Support and thought I share implementation for what was requested.

OGG_GROUP_NAME is from ggsci info all (case sensitive)
./debug_gg.sh: line 3: 1: —> USAGE: /debug_gg.sh OGG_GROUP_NAME
./debug_gg.sh E_LAX

#!/bin/sh -e
DN=`dirname $0`
BN=`basename $0`
OGG_GROUP_NAME=${1:?"---> USAGE: $DN/$BN "OGG_GROUP_NAME""}
set -x
ps -o pid,uname,cmd `pgrep -f "extract.*${OGG_GROUP_NAME}"`
pstack `pgrep -f "extract.*${OGG_GROUP_NAME}"`
pstack `pgrep -f "extract.*${OGG_GROUP_NAME}"`
pstack `pgrep -f "extract.*${OGG_GROUP_NAME}"`
set +x
$GG_HOME/ggsci << EOF
info ${OGG_GROUP_NAME} detail
send ${OGG_GROUP_NAME} status
sh sleep 2m
send ${OGG_GROUP_NAME} status
sh sleep 2m
send ${OGG_GROUP_NAME} status
send ${OGG_GROUP_NAME} report
exit
EOF
echo " "
ls -alrt $GG_HOME/dirrpt/${OGG_GROUP_NAME}*.rpt|tail -3
exit


Example output from pgrep and pstack

++ pgrep -f 'extract.*E_LAX'
+ ps -o pid,uname,cmd 40882
  PID USER     CMD
40882 ggsuser  /u01/gg/12.2.0/extract PARAMFILE /u01/gg/12.2.0/dirprm/e_lax.prm REPORTFILE /u01/gg/12.2.0/dirrpt/E_LAX.rpt PROCESSID E_LAX USESUBDIRS
++ pgrep -f 'extract.*E_LAX'
+ pstack 40882

Just realized does not scale since extract is hard coded.

Next step, learn how to read pstack output – YIKES!
