Hi,
Regarding backups of GoldenGate's home, 11.2 Administrator's guide states this:
"Make regular backups of the Oracle GoldenGate working directories on the primary and
standby systems. This backup must include all of the files that are installed at the root
level of the Oracle GoldenGate installation directory and all of the sub-directories within
that directory. Having a backup of the Oracle GoldenGate environment means that you
will not have to recreate your process groups and parameter files."
Should this backup include the trail files in the "./dirdat" directory? If so, should I stop the GG service (using XAG and GG 11.2 in a linux RAC environment) before doing the OS file copy?
