Goldengate compatibility
Problem Description
---------------------------------------------------
We propose to have a 19c database that needs to replicate to an Oracle 11.2.0.4 database using Oracle Goldengate (version 11.2 at the target). The people at the target end cannot upgrade either the database or Goldengate versions.
I do not believe that it is possible to use Goldengate version 19c to create trail files that can be read by GG 11.2. (I believe we cannot even set FORMAT RELEASE 11.2 on the 19c Extract).
Furthermore, I don't think it's possible to use Oracle GG at version 11.2 at the source to connect to the 19c database.
However, is it possible to connect GG 12.1 to the 19c database and use FORMAT RELEASE 11.2 so that the trails can be read at the target?
