Oracle to MySQL Replication Setup Example 02 - using Swingbench

This replication is going to use Swingbench as an Order-Entry simulation system replicating from Oracle to MySQL. Swingbench can be found here: http://www.dominicgiles.com/swingbench.html

This replication will use the Dbvisit LOAD function to create and load all the data into the target database and ensure the data is completely in sync before the replication is started. 

Click here for prerequisite checklist.

Some data types cannot be replicated from Oracle to MySQL. Please see supported data types.

For the Swingbench tables, the following columns will be excluded from the replication because these data types cannot be replicated from Oracle to MySQL:

REPOE.PRODUCT_INFORMATION.WARRANTY_PERIOD   INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH
REPOE.ORDER_ITEMS.CONDITION                 CONDITION IS A MYSQL KEYWORD
REPOE.ORDERS.ORDER_DATE                     TIMESTAMP(6) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE

Setup Wizard Example

This example shows an Oracle-to-MySQL one-way replication using the following information.

Server/DatabaseName
Source databaseXE (Oracle)
Source serversource (Linux)
Target databaseMySQL
Target servertarget (Linux)
TNS alias for source database   ttorcl_src
Name of the replication (ddcfile)repoe_mysql

Throughout the wizard, defaults are shown in [brackets]. Just press enter to accept them. The replication name in this example is "repoe_mysql".

Setup Swingbench

The command line version of Swingbench is used in this example. Please follow the instruction to download and configure swingbench here.

Ensure Swingbench is configured and has an initial data setup loaded in the source database before continuing to the next step.

Start the setup wizard

First of all start the Dbvisit Replicate command line console:

[oracle@source ~]$ ./dbvrep
Initializing.....done
Dbvisit Replicate

No DDC file loaded.
Run "setup wizard" to start the configuration wizard or try "help" to see all
commands available.
dbvrep>

Then start the setup wizard and follow the instructions. Most of the defaults can be chosen. Choose Oracle as the first database to be setup:

dbvrep> setup wizard                                                                                                                                             
This wizard configures Dbvisit Replicate.

The setup wizard creates configuration scripts, which need to be run after the wizard ends. No changes to the databases are made before that.

The progress is saved every time a list of databases, replications, etc. is shown. It will be re-read if wizard is restarted and the same DDC name and script
path is selected.
Run the wizard now? [yes]                                                                                                                                        
Accept end-user license agreement? (view/yes/no) [view] yes                                                                                                      

Before starting the actual configuration, some basic information is needed. The DDC name and script path determines where all files created by the wizard go
(and where to reread them if wizard is rerun) and the license key determines which options are available for this configuration.
(DDC_NAME) - Please enter a name for this replication (suggestion: use the name of the source database): [] repoe_mysql                                          
(LICENSE_KEY) - Please enter your license key: [(trial)]                                                                                                         
Which Replicate edition do you want to trial (LTD/XTD/MAX): [MAX]                                                                                                
(SETUP_SCRIPT_PATH) - Please enter a directory for location of configuration scripts on this machine: [/u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql]                              

Network configuration files were detected on this system in these locations:
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/network/admin
(TNS_ADMIN) - Please enter TNS configuration directory for this machine: [/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/network/admin]                                       

Step 1 - Describe databases
========================================
The first step is to describe databases used in the replication. There are usually two of them (source and target).
Store SYSDBA and DBA passwords? Passwords only required during setup and initialization? (yes/no) [yes]                                                          
Let's configure the database, describing it's type, connectivity, user names etc.
What type of database is this? (Oracle/MySQL/SQL Server/Oracle AWS RDS/CSV/Hadoop): [Oracle]                                                                     
Please enter database TNS alias: [] ttorcl_src                                                                                                                   
Please enter SYSDBA user name: [SYS]                                                                                                                             
Please enter password for this user: [change_on_install] 
Please enter user with DBA role: [SYSTEM]                                                                                                                        
Please enter password for this user: [manager] 

Connecting to database ttorcl_src as SYSTEM to query list of tablespaces and to detect ASM (by looking whether any redo logs or archived logs are stored in
ASM).
Enter the Dbvisit Replicate owner (this user will be created by this script): [dbvrep]                                                                           
Please enter password for this user: [dbvpasswd] 

Permanent tablespaces detected on the database: REPOE_DATA, USERS.
Please enter default permanent tablespace for this user: [REPOE_DATA]                                                                                            

Temporary tablespaces detected on the database: TEMP.
Please enter default temporary tablespace for this user: [TEMP]                                                                                                  

Following databases are now configured:
1: Oracle ttorcl_src, SYS/***, SYSTEM/***, dbvrep/***, REPOE_DATA/TEMP, dbvrep/, ASM:NO, TZ: +00:00

Now we are going to add another database. This time it will be MySQL. For MySQL only the target host name and root user and password are needed. Note that the mysql client is needed to make the connection to MySQL:

Enter the number of the database to modify it, or "add", or "done": [add]                                                                                        
Let's configure the database, describing it's type, connectivity, user names etc.
What type of database is this? (Oracle/MySQL/SQL Server/Oracle AWS RDS/CSV/Hadoop): [Oracle] MySQL                                                               
Please enter database hostname: [localhost] target                                                                                                               
Please enter user name of an administrator: [root]                                                                                                               
Please enter password for this user: [] ****
Enter the user to log into apply database: [root]                                                                                                                
Please enter password for this user: [password] ****
Enter the database (schema) to use for Dbvisit Replicate internal data (will be created in the script): [dbvrep]                                                 

Following databases are now configured:
1: Oracle ttorcl_src, SYS/***, SYSTEM/***, dbvrep/***, REPOE_DATA/TEMP, dbvrep/, ASM:NO, TZ: +00:00
2: MySQL host=target, root/***, root/***, root/***, /, dbvrep/, ASM:n/a, TZ: 
Enter the number of the database to modify it, or "add", or "done": [done]                                                                                       

Choose which is the source database (Oracle) and which is the target database (MySQL):

Step 2 - Replication pairs
========================================
The second step is to set source and targets for each replication pair.
Let's configure the replication pair, selecting source and target.
Following databases are described:
1: ttorcl_src (Oracle)  
2: host=target (MySQL) (cannot be source, is not Oracle) 
Select source database: [1]                                                                                                                                      
Select target database: [2]                                                                                                                                      
Will limited DDL replication be enabled? [yes]                                                                                                                   
Use fetcher to offload the mining to a different server? (yes/no) [no]                                                                                           
Would you like to encrypt the data across the network (yes or no) [no]                                                                                           
Would you like to compress the data across the network (yes or no) [no]                                                                                          
How long do you want to set the network timeouts. Recommended range between 60-300 seconds [60]                                                                  

Choose how the data will be initially loaded. Choose single-scn to lock the data. Choose load to load the initial data, and choose create to create the tables on the MySQL target database:

Lock and copy the data initially one-by-one or at a single SCN?
one-by-one : Lock tables one by one and capture SCN
single-scn : One SCN for all tables
ddl-only   : Only DDL script for target objects
resetlogs  : Use SCN from last resetlogs operation (standby activation, rman incomplete recovery)
no-lock    : Do not lock tables. Captures previous SCN of oldest active transaction. Requires pre-requisite running of pre-all.sh script                         
(one-by-one/single-scn/ddl-only/resetlogs/no-lock) [single-scn]                                                                          

What data instantiation script to create?
ddl_file       : DDL file created (APPLY.sql)
ddl_run        : DDL is automatically executed on target
load           : All replicated data is created and loaded automatically 
none                                                                                                                                                             
(ddl_file/ddl_run/load/none) [ddl_file] load
Do you want to (re-)create the tables on target or keep them (they are already created)? (create/keep) [create]
Following replication pairs are now configured:
1: ttorcl_src (Oracle) ==> host=target (MySQL), DDL: yes, fetcher: no, process suffix: (no suffix), compression: no, encryption: no, network timeout: 60,
prepare type: single-scn, data load: load_create
Enter number of replication pair to modify it, or "add", or "done": [done]                                                                                       

Choose the tables to be replicated. In this case we are going to select the whole swingbench schema: REPOE. Do not choose any of the advanced features:

Step 3 - Replicated tables
========================================
The third step is to choose the schemas and tables to be replicated. If the databases are reachable, the tables are checked for existence, datatype support,
etc., schemas are queried for tables. Note that all messages are merely hints/warnings and may be ignored if issues are rectified before the scripts are
actually executed.

Following tables are defined for replication pairs:
1: ttorcl_src (Oracle) ==> host=target (MySQL), DDL: yes, suffix: (no suffix), prepare: single-scn
  No tables defined.
Enter number of replication pair to modify it, or "done": [1]                                                                                                    

Please enter list of all individual tables to be replicated. Enter schema name(s) only to replicate all tables in that schema. Use comma or space to delimit the
entries.
Enter the tables and schemas: [] REPOE                                                                                                                           
Selected schemas: REPOE
Add more tables or schemas? (YES/NO) [NO]  

You can also specify some advanced options:
1. Exclude some tables from schema-level replication
2. Rename schemas or tables.
3. Specify filtering conditions.
4. (Tables only) Configure Change Data Capture; this does not maintain a copy of the source table, but logs all operations as separate entries. This is useful
for ETL or as an audit trail. This usually requires adding of new columns (timestamps, old/new values etc.) to the target table.
Specify rename name or filter condition for any of the specified schemas (YES/NO): [no]                                                                          
(PREPARE_SCHEMA_EXCEPTIONS) - Specify tables to exclude from PREPARE SCHEMA, if any: []                                                                          

Following tables are defined for replication pairs:
1: ttorcl_src (Oracle) ==> host=target (MySQL), DDL: yes, suffix: (no suffix), prepare: single-scn
  REPOE(tables)
Enter number of replication pair to modify it, or "done": [done]                                                                                                                       

Specify the server names of where the Mine process and the Target process will run. Leave the rest as defaults:

Step 4 - Process configuration
========================================
The fourth step is to configure the replication processes for each replication.

Following processes are defined:
1: MINE on ttorcl_src
  Not configured.
2: APPLY on host=target
  Not configured.
Enter number of process to modify it, or "done": [1]                                                                                                             
Fully qualified name of the server for the process (usually co-located with the database, unless mine is offloaded using fetcher): [source]                      
Server type (Windows/Linux/Unix): [Linux]                                                                                                                        
Enable email notifications about problems (yes/no)? [no]                                                                                                         
Enable SNMP traps/notifications about problems (yes/no)? [no]                                                                                                    
Directory with DDC file and default where to create log files etc. (recommended: same as global setting, if possible)? [/u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql]

Exit out of dbvrep by typing exit

Excluding columns

Edit the .dbvrep file and add the columns to be excluded:

cd /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/config
vi repoe_mysql-setup.dbvrep

Add the following lines after the line "PROCESS SWITCH_REDOLOG"

EXCLUDE COLUMN OFFLINE REPOE.PRODUCT_INFORMATION.WARRANTY_PERIOD
EXCLUDE COLUMN OFFLINE REPOE.ORDER_ITEMS.CONDITION
EXCLUDE COLUMN OFFLINE REPOE.ORDERS.ORDER_DATE

Save the file and quit the vi editor.  OFFLINE keyword is nessesary since the replication is not yet running.

Initialize the Replication and loading the initial data

Run the "repoe_mysql-all.sh" script to initialize the replication. This will also create the tables on the target database.

Some apply tables were (re)created by the .dbvrep script; now we run the grant scripts again.
Object grants for database ttorcl_src...
Object grants for database database=dbvrep
These steps are required after the repoe_mysql-all.sh script runs:

1) Create the necessary directory(ies) on the servers:
target: /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql

2) Copy the DDC files to the server(s) where the processes will run:
target: /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-APPLY.ddc
source: /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-MINE.ddc

3) Review that path to dbvrep executable is correct in the run scripts:
/u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-run-source.sh
/u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-run-target.sh

4) Copy the run script to the server(s) where the processes will run:
source: /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-run-source.sh
target: /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-run-target.sh

5) Ensure firewall is open for listen interfaces 0.0.0.0:7902, 0.0.0.0:7901 used by the processes.

6) Ensure firewall is open for remote access to mysql (usually port 3306) on target.

7) Make sure the data on apply are in sync as of time when setup was run.

8) Start the replication processes on all servers:
source: /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-run-source.sh
target: /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-run-target.sh

9) Start the console to monitor the progress:
/u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/start-console.sh

The above list is stored in /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/Nextsteps.txt.
[oracle@source repoe_mysql]$ 

As per the instructions above:

1. On the target server (called target in this example) create the following directory:

mkdir /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql

2. Copy the DDC files to the server(s) where the processes will run:

scp /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-APPLY.ddc oracle@target:/u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-APPLY.ddc

3. Copy the run script to the server(s) where the processes will run:

scp /u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-run-target.sh oracle@target:/u01/app/oracle/repoe_mysql/repoe_mysql-run-target.sh

4. Start the replication process on the source server:

Start Swingbench 

Swingbench can now be started and the swingbench tables will be replicated with Dbvisit Replicate. 

Start swingbench in a different oracle session:

/u01/app/oracle/swingbench/bin/charbench -v users,tps,trans -cs //source/XE  -u repoe -p repoe -uc 5 -min 1 -max 200 -rt 0:10 -a 

The output of Swingbench will be similar to the following:
