#trail

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

While working on a client's GoldenGate 26ai environment, I ran into a NFS-related replication issue that could have been serious, had it happened in production.

Since the beginning of the year, I had the opportunity to upgrade many GoldenGate setups to 26ai. On two of them, I was facing an issue regarding purge tasks that I could not solve.

Depending on the location of your GoldenGate trail files, you might have to use the convchk utility to relocate them before migrating to the Microservices Architecture.
