6 Message Capture Properties

Specifies the type of logging that is to be used. The default implementation is the JDK option. This is the built-in Java logging called java.util.logging (JUL). The other logging options are log4j or logback. The syntax is:

gg.log={JDK|log4j|logback}

For example, to set the type of logging to log4j:

gg.log=log4j 

The log file is created in the report subdirectory of the installation. The default log file name includes the group name of the associated Extract and the file extension is log.

Specifies the overall log level for all modules. The syntax is:

gg.log.level={ERROR|WARN|INFO|DEBUG}

The log levels are defined as follows:

• ERROR – Only write messages if errors occur

• WARN – Write error and warning messages

• INFO – Write error, warning and informational messages

• DEBUG – Write all messages, including debug ones.

The default logging level is INFO. The messages in this case will be produced on startup, shutdown and periodically during operation. If the level is switched to DEBUG, large volumes of messages may occur which could impact performance. For example, the following sets the global logging level to INFO:

# global logging level
gg.log.level=INFO

Specifies the path to the log file. The syntax is:

gg.log.file=path_to_file

Where the path_to_file is the fully defined location of the log file. This allows a change to the name of the log, but you must include the Replicat name if you have more than one Replicat to avoid one overwriting the log of the other.

Specifies the classpath to the JARs used to implement logging.

gg.log.classpath=path_to_jars

Specifies the classpath and boot options that will be applied when the JVM starts up. The path needs colon (:) separators for UNIX/Linux and semicolons (;) for Windows.

The syntax is:

jvm.bootoptions=option[, option][. . .]

The options are the same as those passed to Java executed from the command line. They may include classpath, system properties, and JVM memory options (such as maximum memory or initial memory) that are valid for the version of Java being used. Valid options may vary based on the JVM version and provider.

For example (all on a single line):

jvm.bootoptions= -Djava.class.path=ggjava/ggjava.jar
-Dlog4j.configuration=my-log4j.properties

The log4j.configuration property could be a fully qualified URL to a log4j properties file; by default this file is searched for in the classpath. You may use your own log4j configuration, or one of the pre-configured log4j settings: log4j.properties (default level of logging), debug-log4j.properties (debug logging) or trace-log4j.properties (very verbose logging).

Specifies where the JMS report is written. The syntax is:

jms.report.output={report|log|both}

Where:

• report sends the JMS report to the Oracle GoldenGate report file. This is the default.

• log will write to the Java log file (if one is configured)

• both will send to both locations.

Specifies the frequency of report generation based on time.

jms.report.time=time_specification

The following examples write a report every 30 seconds, 45 minutes and eight hours.

jms.report.time=30sec
jms.report.time=45min
jms.report.time=8hr

Specifies the frequency of report generation based on number of records. The syntax is:

jms.report.records=number

The following example writes a report every 1000 records.

jms.report.records=1000

Specifies that a unique identifier with the indicated format is passed back from the JMS integration to the message capture VAM. This may be used by the VAM as a unique sequence ID for records.

jms.id={ogg|time|wmq|activemq|message_header|custom_java_class}

Where:

• ogg - returns the message header property GG_ID which is set by Oracle GoldenGate JMS delivery.

• time - uses a system timestamp as a starting point for the message ID

• wmq - reformats a WebSphere MQ Message ID for use with the VAM

• activemq - reformats an ActiveMQ Message ID for use with the VAM

• message_header - specifies your customized JMS message header to be included, such as JMSMessageID, JMSCorrelationID, or JMSTimestamp.

• custom_java_class - specifies a custom Java class that creates a string to be used as an ID.

For example:

jms.id=time
jms.id=JMSMessageID

The ID returned must be unique, incrementing, and fixed-width. If there are duplicate numbers, the duplicates are skipped. If the message ID changes length, the Extract process will abend.

Specifies the queue or topic name to be looked up using JNDI.

jms.destination=jndi_name

For example:

jms.destination=sampleQ

Specifies the connection factory name to be looked up using JNDI.

jms.connectionFactory=jndi_name

For example

jms.connectionFactory=ConnectionFactory

Sets the user name and password of the JMS connection, as specified by the JMS provider.

jms.user=user_name
jms.password=password

This is not used for JNDI security. To set JNDI authentication, see the JNDI java.naming.security properties.

For example:

jms.user=myuser
jms.password=mypasswd

Specifies the parser to use.

parser.type={fixed|delim|xml}

Where:

• fixed invokes the fixed width parser

• delim invokes the delimited parser

delim.fielddelim.escaped={value|\xhex_value}

For example, given the following property settings:

delim.fielddelim=-
delim.fielddelim.escaped=$#$

If the data does not contain the hyphen delimiter within any of the field values:

one two three four

The resulting delimited data is:

If there are hyphen (-) delimiters within the field values:

one two three four-fifths two-fifths

The resulting delimited data is:

one-two-three-four$#$fifths-two$#$fifths

delim.linedelim.escaped={value|\xhex_value}

For example, given the following property settings:

delim.linedelim=\
delim.linedelim.escaped=%/%

If the input lines are:

These are the lines and they
do not contain the delimiter.

Because the lines do not contain the backslash (\), the result is:

These are the lines and they\
do not contain the delimiter.\

However, if the input lines do contain the delimiter:

These are the lines\data values
and they do contain the delimiter.

So the results are:

These are the lines%/%data values\
and they do contain the delimiter.\

Specifies the value that will replace a quote delimiter when the quote delimiter occurs in the input data. The syntax is:

delim.quote.escaped={value|\xhex_value}

For example, given the following property settings:

delim.quote="
delim.quote.escaped="'"

If the input data does not contain the quote (") delimiter:

It was a very original play.

However, if the input data does contain the quote delimiter:

It was an "uber-original" play.

The result is:

"It was an "'"uber-original"'" play."

Specifies the value that will replace a null indicator when a null indicator occurs in the input data. The syntax is:

delim.nullindicator.escaped={value|\xhex_value}

For example, given the following property settings:

delim.nullindicator.escaped=$NULL$

When the input data does not contain a NULL value or a NULL indicator:

1 2 3 4 5

The result is

1,2,3,4,5

When the input data contains a NULL value:

1 2 4 5

The result is

1,2,NULL,4,5

When the input data contains a NULL indicator:

1 2 NULL 4 5

The result is:

1,2,$NULL$,4,5

Specifies whether before values are present in the data.

delim.hasbefores={true|false}

The default is false. The parser expects to find before and after values of columns for all records if delim.hasbefores is set to true. The before values are used for updates and deletes, the after values for updates and inserts. The afterfirst property specifies whether the before images are before the after images or after them. If delim.hasbefores is false, then no before values are expected.

For example:

delim.hasbefores=true

Specifies whether column names are present in the data.

delim.hasnames={true|false}

The default is false. If true, the parser expects to find column names for all records. The parser validates the column names against the expected column names. If false, no column names are expected.

For example:

delim.hasnames=true

Specifies whether after values are positioned before or after the before values.

delim.afterfirst={true|false}

The default is false. If true, the parser expects to find the after values before the before values. If false, the after values are before the before values.

For example:

delim.afterfirst=true

Specifies whether the column names and before and after images should be expected grouped together for all columns or interleaved for each column.

delim.isgrouped={true|false}

The default is false. If true, the parser expects find a group of column names (if hasnames is true), followed by a group of before values (if hasbefores), followed by a group of after values (the afterfirst setting will reverse the before and after value order). If false, the parser will expect to find a column name (if hasnames), before value (if hasbefores) and after value for each column.

For example:

delim.isgrouped=true

Specifies the date format for column data. This is specified at a global level, table level or column level.The format used to parse the date is a subset of the formats used for parser.timestamp.format.

statoprule.type=op

Specifies an XPath expression used to determine whether the rule is activated for a particular document or not.

rulename.match=xpath_expression

If the XPath expression returns any nodes from the document, the rule matches and further processing occurs. If it does not return any nodes, the rule is ignored for that document.

The following example activates the dyntxrule if the document has a root element of Transaction

dyntxrule.match=/Transaction

Where statoprule is a sub rule of stattxtule, the following example activates the statoprule if the parent rule's matching nodes have child elements of NewMyTableEntry.

statoprule.match=./NewMyTableEntry

Specifies a list of rule names to check for matches if the parent rule is activated by its match.

Specifies the value that identifies an update operation. The default is U.

oprule.optype.updateval={value|\xhex_value}

For example:

dynoprule.optype.updateval=M

Specifies the value that identifies a delete operation. The default is D.

oprule.optype.deleteval={value|\xhex_value}

For example:

dynoprule.optype.deleteval=R

Specifies the XPath expression or JMS property that contains the transaction indicator to be validated against beginval or other value that identifies the position within the transaction. All operations within a single message are regarded as occurring within a whole transaction if this property is not defined. Specifies the begin, middle and end of transactions. Any XPath expression must end with a value accessor such as @att or text(). Transactions defined in this way can span messages. This is an optional property.

oprule.txind={xpath_expression|$jms_property}

For example:

dynoprule.txind=@txind

Specifies the value that identifies an operation as the beginning of a transaction. The default is B.

oprule.txind.beginval={value|\xhex_value}

For example:

dynoprule.txind.beginval=0

Specifies the value that identifies an operation as the middle of a transaction. The default is M.

oprule.txind.middleval={value|\xhex_value}

For example:

dynoprule.txind.middleval=1

Specifies the value that identifies an operation as the end of a transaction. The default is E.

oprule.txind.endval={value|\xhex_value}

For example:

dynoprule.txind.endval=2

Specifies the value that identifies an operation as a whole transaction. The default is W.

oprule.txind.wholeval={value|\xhex_value}

For example:

dynoprule.txind.wholeval=3

Specifies the XPath expression or hard-coded value that contains a column name. The column index must be specified if this is not and the column name will be resolved from that. If specified the column name will be verified against the source definitions file. Any XPath expression must end with a value accessor such as @att or text().

colrule.name={xpath_expression|"value"}

For example:

dyncolrule.name=@name
statkeycolrule.name="keycol"

Specifies the XPath expression or hard-coded value that contains a column index. If not specified then the column name must be specified and the column index will be resolved from that. If specified the column index will be verified against the source definitions file. Any XPath expression must end with a value accessor such as @att or text().

colrule.index={xpath_expression|"value"}

For example:

dyncolrule.index=@index
statkeycolrule.index=1

Specifies the XPath expression or hard-coded value that contains a column value. Any XPath expression must end with a value accessor such as @att or text(). If the XPath expression fails to return any data because a node or attribute does not exist, the column value will be deemed as null. To differentiate between null and missing values (for updates) the isnull and ismissing properties should be set. The value returned is used for delete before values, and update/insert after values.

colrule.value={xpath_expression|"value"}

For example:

statkeycolrule.value=./text()

Specifies the XPath expression used to discover if a column value is null. The XPath expression must end with a value accessor such as @att or text(). If the XPath expression returns any value, the column value is null. This is an optional property.

colrule.isnull=xpath_expression

For example:

dyncolrule.isnull=@isnull

Specifies the XPath expression used to discover if a column value is missing. The XPath expression must end with a value accessor such as @att or text(). If the XPath expression returns any value, then the column value is missing. This is an optional property.

colrule.ismissing=xpath_expression

For example:

dyncolrule.ismissing=./missing

Overrides colrule.value to specifically say how to obtain before values used for updates or deletes. This has the same format as colrule.value. This is an optional property.

For example:

dyncolrule.before.value=./beforevalue/text()

Overrides colrule.isnull to specifically say how to determine if a before value is null for updates or deletes. This has the same format as colrule.isnull. This is an optional property.

For example:

dyncolrule.before.isnull=./beforevalue/@isnull

Overrides colrule.ismissing to specifically say how to determine if a before value is missing for updates or deletes. This has the same format as colrule.ismissing. This is an optional property.

For example:

dyncolrule.before.ismissing=./beforevalue/missing

Overrides colrule.value to specifically say how to obtain after values used for updates or deletes. This has the same format as colrule.value. This is an optional property.

For example:

dyncolrule.after.value=./aftervalue/text()

Overrides colrule.isnull to specifically say how to determine if an after value is null for updates or deletes. This has the same format as colrule.isnull. This is an optional property.

For example:

dyncolrule.after.isnull=./aftervalue/@isnull

Overrides colrule.ismissing to specifically say how to determine if an after value is missing for updates or deletes. This has the same format as colrule.ismissing. This is an optional property.

For example:

dyncolrule.after.ismissing=./aftervalue/missing
