Re: Got Questions: Golden Gate replication between cloned environments

Chris,

There are multiple ways that you can achieve what you want to do with GoldenGate. Just off the top of my head, I would ask the following questions:

1. Do we need to refresh monthly? If so, what is the level of effort to reset extract and replicats?
2. Are you scripting any of the refresh?
3. Can we do an mid-tier approach with GoldenGate?
4. Yes, this is doable and would provide you with a way that just needs to be reset based on SCN
5. Why not keep Dev/Staging/QA continually updated?
6. This would allow you to ship changes to these environments and keep them refreshed near-real-time without having to do clones
