Oracle Details Azure Portal Setup for GoldenGate Replication

Oracle has published a detailed Azure Portal workflow for setting up GoldenGate, its managed service for real-time data movement. Customers can create a GoldenGate runtime, add source or target connections, and link them for replication from the Azure interface—while still mapping those resources into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

The September 22 walkthrough is a practical guide to the native interface for Oracle GoldenGate on Oracle AI Database@Azure. Oracle’s change log says Azure Portal support for creating and managing GoldenGate deployments and connections was added on August 28; the new material specifies the steps and current boundaries of that experience.

Administrators first create a deployment, the managed environment where GoldenGate replication processes run. They then create a connection for a source or target system and assign it to that deployment. The portal currently supports connections for Oracle Database, Kafka and Microsoft Fabric.

What the Azure workflow currently includes

• Create OracleDatabase or BigData deployments, with one to 24 OCPUs and optional autoscaling.
• Choose shared-endpoint routing or a dedicated private endpoint for a connection.
• Assign a connection from the deployment page, or assign a deployment from the connection page.

The setup relies on two mapping objects. A Resource Anchor identifies the OCI compartment where the Oracle resource is created, while a Network Anchor identifies the Azure virtual network and subnet used by a deployment. That lets teams use Azure subscriptions, resource groups, regions and tags in provisioning, but it does not remove the underlying Azure-to-OCI relationship.

Oracle says deployment creation can take an hour or more, and a deployment must be active before connections are assigned. Dedicated endpoint routing requires a Network Anchor. The GoldenGate console is not exposed through an internet-facing public endpoint by default in this portal flow, so administrators also need a network path capable of reaching the deployment.
