GoldenGate – Supplemental Logging Is A Mess

I was tasked to find supplemental logging details for Oracle database used with GoldenGate.

Note: this is not a pluggable database.

With ADD TRANDATA, use dba_log_groups and dba_log_group_columns.

With ADD SCHEMATRANDATA, use select * from table(logmnr$always_suplog_columns( SCHEMA, TABLE ));

Basically, one would need to run the query with logmnr pipeline function for all the tables in the schema.

Here is one process I used.

Create info_schematrandata.prm

$ cat info_schematrandata.prm
dblogin USERID ggs, PASSWORD *
info schematrandata *

Run ggsci using info_schematrandata.prm (full path is required)

$ ggsci paramfile /home/oracle/working/dinh/info_schematrandata.prm > info_schematrandata.log

Here is example for results (actual contains 12 schemas)

$ grep -i enable info_schematrandata.log
2020-06-01 05:19:35  INFO    OGG-06480  Schema level supplemental logging, excluding non-validated keys, is enabled on schema "SCOTT".
2020-06-01 05:19:35  INFO    OGG-01981  Schema level supplemental logging is enabled on schema "SCOTT" for all columns.

After finding the schemas, use logmnr pipeline function to find all the details.

select * from table(logmnr$always_suplog_columns('SCOTT','EMP')) order by intcol;
select * from table(logmnr$always_suplog_columns('SCOTT','BONUS')) order by intcol;
select * from table(logmnr$always_suplog_columns('SCOTT','DEPT')) order by intcol;

You can find demo with logmnr$always_suplog_columns at: GoldenGate 12c Features Found in 11.2.1.0.21 ???

OGG: How To Log All Columns With Add Schematrandata To Get NOCOMPRESSUPDATES (Doc ID 1413142.1)

ADD SCHEMATRANDATA does not allow columns to be specified.
This enables logging of Primary Key columns only.
By default, updates are compressed.
In order to log all columns ADD TRANDATA would have to be used.
The ADD TRANDATA can be used in conjunction with ADD SCHEMATRANDATA to specify the non-primary key columns.

How to Check Supplemental Logging When ADD SCHEMATRANDATA is Enabled (Doc ID 1537837.1)

It is not listed in dba_log_groups or dba_log_group_columns.
select * from table(logmnr$always_suplog_columns( SCHEMA, TABLE ));

Effects of ADD TRANDATA and ADD SCHEMATRANDATA on an Oracle databases’ Supplemental Logging (Doc ID 2070331.1)

Some useful commands from ggsci:

INFO TRANDATA [container.]owner.table (info trandata *) did not work
INFO SCHEMATRANDATA schema            (info schematrandata *)
LIST TABLES table                     (list tables SCOTT.*)

Note to self:

$ cat list_table.prm
dblogin USERID ggs, PASSWORD *
list tables SCOTT.*

$ ggsci paramfile /home/oracle/working/dinh/list_table.prm > list_table.log

$ grep '\.' list_table.log | egrep -iv 'found|ggsci'| grep -A 10000 "Successfully logged into database."|grep -v database > table.log

$ cat table.log
SCOTT.EMP
SCOTT.BONUS
SCOTT.DEPT

$ cat read.sh
#!/bin/bash
IFS="."
while read f1 f3
do
echo "select * from table(logmnr\$always_suplog_columns('$f1','$f3')) order by intcol;"
done < /home/oracle/working/dinh/table.log
exit

$ ./read.sh > /tmp/suplog.sql

$ head /tmp/suplog.sql
select * from table(logmnr$always_suplog_columns('SCOTT','EMP')) order by intcol;
select * from table(logmnr$always_suplog_columns('SCOTT','BONUS')) order by intcol;
select * from table(logmnr$always_suplog_columns('SCOTT','DEPT')) order by intcol;
