Overview

The Oracle Source Connector is an advanced tool designed to synchronize Oracle databases with Popsink efficiently and in real-time. It enables the real-time transfer of data, ensuring that the latest database changes are mirrored to the target systems. This capability is crucial for maintaining up-to-date business intelligence, enabling real-time analytics, and enhancing operational workflows.

Prerequisites

Before deploying the Oracle Source Connector, certain prerequisites must be met to ensure a smooth integration process:

  1. Whitelisting Popsink's IP Address: Ensure that Popsink's IP address 13.37.99.137 is whitelisted to allow uninterrupted communication between Oracle databases and Popsink.

  2. Database Log Mode Configuration: The Oracle database Archive Mode should be set to ArchiveLog.

  3. Supplemental Logging: Supplemental Logs should be enable on the source you wish to replicate. This can me done at Database or Table Level :

    ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA;

    ALTER TABLE **{db.name}** ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (ALL) COLUMNS;

    Note: If using AWS RDS, additional steps may be required. Please consult the relevant AWS RDS documentation and do feel free to reach out for help.

Required Permissions

Although you could use a superuser, we do recommend setting up dedicated users for security reasons. The user account that the Oracle Source Connector utilizes must have sufficient privileges. The following SQL statements outline the necessary permissions:

GRANT CREATE SESSION TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SET CONTAINER TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$DATABASE to {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT FLASHBACK ANY TABLE TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ANY TRANSACTION TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT LOGMINING TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT LOCK ANY TABLE TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT CREATE SEQUENCE TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_LOGMNR TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_LOGMNR_D TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOG TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOG_HISTORY TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGMNR_LOGS TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGMNR_CONTENTS TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGMNR_PARAMETERS TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGFILE TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$ARCHIVED_LOG TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$TRANSACTION TO {username} CONTAINER=ALL;

Replace {username} with the actual username being used for the connection.
