Is Goldengate datapump required for an NFS mount?
I need to migrate a 10Tb Siebel database from HP-UX to exadata while avoiding firewalls etc. version 11.2.0.4
The plan is to use an NFS mounted chunk of disk, simultaneously available to source and target. The disk will be used both for the expdp dmp file AND the Goldengate trail files.
Traditionally, the extract process writes trail files $PATH/lt - datapump then transfers the data to $PATH/rt where the replicat reads from them.
When using an NFS mount, is the datapump actually required? And can the replicat be configured to read the $PATH/lt files direct, even as they are being written to?
