How to check syntax of parameters in parameter files without logging to GGSCI prompt ?


Version :GoldenGate 12.2 new feature
Utility Name:checkprm
Location:GoldenGate Home


You are working on GoldenGate environment and want to build and test the parameter files
like
1.Manager parameter file
2.Extract parameter file
3.Datapump parameter file
4.Replicat parameter file

So one way to do this is to do edit <Parameter file Name>
and save and test it. If there is any typo you get error and then once again you need to
go back to edit <Parameter file Name> and that also in GGSCI prompt .

Its cumbersome and time consuming , Oracle Goldengate 12.2 onward it come up with an utility
called checkprm

Which you can run as below and check if everything in parameter files are syntactically
correct or not


[oracle@ggate1 ogg_trg]$ ./checkprm ./dirprm/mgr.prm -C mgr -v

Parameter file validation context:

component(s): MGR
mode(s)     : N/A
platform(s) : Linux
database(s) : Oracle 12c


./dirprm/mgr.prm

port                                 : 7809

2020-01-01 22:29:44  INFO    OGG-10183  Parameter file ./dirprm/mgr.prm:  Validity check: PASS.

Runtime parameter validation is not reflected in the above check.

Look at the last line it says " Runtime parameter validation is not reflected in the above check." 
 This means this utility only checks syntax not the runtime validation of the syntax

Configuring GGSCI Command Security CMDSEC You can establish command security for Oracle GoldenGate to control which users have access to which Oracle GoldenGate command line functions. For example, you can allow certain users to issue INFO and STATUS commands, while preventing their use of START and STOP commands. Security levels are defined by the operating system's user groups. To implement security for Oracle GoldenGate commands, you create a CMDSEC file in the Oracle GoldenGate directory. Without this file, access to all Oracle GoldenGate commands is granted to all users.
