Switch to Integrated Replicat

Earlier I wrote a blog post about moving the Oracle Golden Gate Extract from “Classic”  capture to “Integrated” capture.   In this post, we will take a look at how to move a “Classic” replicat (apply) to an “Integrated” replicat (apply) process.
The initial step to migrate the replicat from “Classic” to “Integrated” are the same as the extract.  Look here for the initial details.  This post picks up when we are getting ready to stop the replicat and perform the migration.
Before we can do anything with the replcat, we need to be in GGSCI.
Code 1:

[oracle@oel oggcore_1]$ ./ggsci
Oracle GoldenGate Command Interpreter for Oracle
Version 12.1.2.0.0 17185003 17451407_FBO
Linux, x64, 64bit (optimized), Oracle 11g on Oct 29 2013 00:31:40
Operating system character set identified as UTF-8.
Copyright (C) 1995, 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
 
GGSCI (oel.acme.com) 1>

Now, we need to stop the replciat (apply) process that we are using.
Code 2:

GGSCI (oel.acme.com) 1> info all
Program     Status      Group       Lag at Chkpt  Time Since Chkpt
MANAGER     RUNNING
JAGENT      STOPPED
EXTRACT     RUNNING     EXT         00:00:09      00:00:00
EXTRACT     RUNNING     PMP         00:00:00      00:00:10
REPLICAT    RUNNING     REP         00:00:00      00:00:08
GGSCI (oel.acme.com) 2> stop replicat rep
Sending STOP request to REPLICAT REP ...
Request processed.

With the replicat stopped, we need to log into the database through GGSCI.
Code 3:

GGSCI (oel.acme.com) 3> dblogin userid ggate, password ggate
Successfully logged into database.

Next, we need to alter the replicat to make it integrated.
Code 4:

GGSCI (oel.acme.com) 4> alter replicat rep, integrated
REPLICAT (Integrated) altered.

Finally, we need to start the replicat.
Code 5:

GGSCI (oel.acme.com) 5> start replicat rep
Sending START request to MANAGER ...
REPLICAT REP starting

Once the replicat has been started, we can check the replicat and look at the details with the INFO option.
Code 6:

GGSCI (oel.acme.com) 7> info replicat rep, detail

From looking at the details of the replicat, you can see that it is now integrated and using the DBLOGIN that we provided earlier.
