How Oracle GoldenGate licensing works:
- Oracle Goldengate can be licensed under the named user, license, and processor metric.
- You must license both the source and target hosts.
Intro to GoldenGate Licensing
- It includes licenses for Oracle Active Data Guard and Oracle XStream, but you must have an Oracle Database Enterprise Edition license to use these features.
- The Oracle GoldenGate license also includes a restricted-use license for Oracle GoldenGate for Big Data (GGBD).
- This restricted-use license can only be used for communication between Oracle GoldenGate and separately licensed Oracle Coherence Grid Edition deployments or between Oracle GoldenGate and separately licensed Oracle Stream Analytics deployments.
How does Goldengate Licensing work?
- Oracle GoldenGate can be purchased based on either the number of processors or the number of named users.
- It can be obtained through a volume agreement or an Oracle ULA (Unlimited License Agreement).
- When purchasing through an Oracle ULA, you must have the correct licenses by calculating the number of users or processors using Oracle GoldenGate.
- The number of licenses required depends on the number of users or processors running the Oracle database from which data is being captured and the number of users or processors running the Oracle database where the data will be applied.
Oracle Goldengate Licensing for non-Oracle Database
For Oracle GoldenGate for Non-Oracle Database, the number of licenses required depends on either the number of users or processors running the Non-Oracle Database from which data is being captured and the number of users or processors running the Non-Oracle Database where the data will be applied.
Specifically, the number of users or processors must be counted to determine the number of licenses needed.
