#rest api

I often need to retrieve report files or logs from GoldenGate deployments, and I wanted to find ways of automating this. Hence this blog, about retrieving all available logs with GoldenGate REST API.

While testing EVENTACTIONS (SUSPEND) on an extract, I noticed that nothing in INFO tells you the process is suspended.

In a recent blog, I explained how instantiation filtering works. DBOPTIONS ENABLE_INSTANTIATION_FILTERING makes a replicat discard any record whose commit CSN is at or below a table's…

When automating your GoldenGate deployments, or tearing down a test environment, handling trail files is important.

I sometimes get asked how the new AI Service of GoldenGate 26ai works, and the best way to show it is to see it in action.

In a previous blog, I went through the full procedure of renaming a GoldenGate extract from the adminclient. I included all necessary steps to avoid missing transactions.

In a previous post, I shared the OGGRestAPI Python client I built for the GoldenGate REST API. Since then, I kept using it on production deployments, fixing it and adding new features along the way.

In a previous blog, I presented how to set up a distribution path between two GoldenGate deployments both secured with NGINX. The method I used there was purely through the Web UI.

I already covered out-of-place patching from the web UI, but patching tasks should be automated, and clicking through the same screens for every deployment can get repetitive.

When doing complex operations with GoldenGate, checking for long running transactions is mandatory if you don't want to miss transactions.

The 23.26.3.0.0 release update of GoldenGate 26ai (July 2026) ships a small but welcome usability change, listed in the *New Enhancements section of the release notes: > Bug 39415027: Generic -…

I recently wrote about NGINX reverse proxy reconfiguration after creating or deleting a deployment in GoldenGate.

Recently, I wrote about deleting a GoldenGate deployment with the REST API, and when investigating this issue, I remembered a limitation of the configuration assistant, which I wanted to talk about.

Recently, I was asked how to recreate a GoldenGate deployment if the password for the Security user (the first user created with the deployment) was lost.

After writing blogs about Default profile updates and a bug affecting profiles in GoldenGate 26ai, I realized it would be a good idea to present a quick way to update all processes at once with the…

GoldenGate logs are a powerful source of information when troubleshooting or analyzing your deployments. However, there is at least one log file per service in the Microservices Architecture.

Your GoldenGate certificates should be granted by a trusted Certificate Authority, which normally handles the monitoring of certificates.

As part of a GoldenGate setup automation, changing the Default profile of your extracts and replicats seems like a good start if you don't want to deal with custom profiles or changing each…

Let me tell you a story about how I discovered an undocumented role in GoldenGate that could break your automation.

When automating your GoldenGate deployment management, you might want to create path connections with the GoldenGate REST API.

While migrating a GoldenGate classic architecture setup with the migration utility, I recently had the following OGG-12020 error: It is a very cryptic error at first glance, but let's try to…

Is it possible to create a new GoldenGate deployment with the REST API ? This is the question I will try to answer in this blog, based on my experience with the REST API.

*Updated in June 2026, based on the latest version of the client.

In this blog post, I will guide you on how to query the restapi.log file of your GoldenGate deployments more efficiently.

When playing around with the GoldenGate REST API, you might have encountered the OGG-08116 error.

Oracle GoldenGate REST API has been around for quite some time now, but I've yet to see it used in practice at customers. Every time I tried to introduce it, it was some sort of novelty.

If you start using the GoldenGate web UI after installing it, you might end up thinking that extending the session timeout would be nice.

If you've ever had to deal with MongoDB after years (or even decades) of working with SQL, you've probably realized that querying JSON documents can sometimes be painful, to say the least.
