Retrieving GoldenGate logs, reports, and diagnostics with the REST API

I often need to retrieve report files or logs from GoldenGate deployments, and I wanted to find ways of automating this. Hence this blog, about retrieving all available logs with GoldenGate REST API.

Rename a GoldenGate Extract with the REST API

In a previous blog, I went through the full procedure of renaming a GoldenGate extract from the adminclient. I included all necessary steps to avoid missing transactions.

Alfresco: some useful database queries

In my previous post, I talked about the Lifecycle of Alfresco Nodes. You may have noticed that I tried to insert in my explanations some elements that are specific to databases (tables, fields, aso…). These elements are quite essential to prepare a post like this one: more database oriented. I already explained what exactly are the consequences on the database side when… 

Understand the Lifecycle of Alfresco Nodes

I guess you all already know what a lifecycle is. We born, we live and we die… In fact, it’s exactly the same for Aflresco Nodes! Well, at least from an end user point of view. But what is really going on behind that? This is what I will try to explain in this post. First of all what is…

Generally, these projects are limited to the management of QlikView at the administrator level (installation, upgrade, configuration of the QlikView Management Console, aso…) but I was still able to accumulate some knowledge that I want to share with you today.
