Database Dependency​

Install Jdbc Driver​

  1. You need to ensure that the jdbc driver jar package has been placed in directory ${SEATUNNEL_HOME}/plugins/.
  2. To support the i18n character set, copy the orai18n.jar to the $SEATNUNNEL_HOME/plugins/ directory.

For SeaTunnel Zeta Engine​

  1. You need to ensure that the jdbc driver jar package has been placed in directory ${SEATUNNEL_HOME}/lib/.
  2. To support the i18n character set, copy the orai18n.jar to the $SEATNUNNEL_HOME/lib/ directory.

Enable Oracle Logminer​

To enable Oracle CDC (Change Data Capture) using Logminer in Seatunnel, which is a built-in tool provided by Oracle, follow the steps below:

Enabling Logminer without CDB (Container Database) mode.​

  1. The operating system creates an empty file directory to store Oracle archived logs and user tablespaces.
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/oradata/recovery_area
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB
chown -R oracle /opt/oracle/***
  1. Login as admin and enable Oracle archived logs.
sqlplus /nolog;
connect sys as sysdba;
alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 10G;
alter system set db_recovery_file_dest = '/opt/oracle/oradata/recovery_area' scope=spfile;
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
alter database archivelog;
alter database open;
ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (ALL) COLUMNS;
archive log list;
  1. Login as admin and create an account called logminer_user with the password "oracle", and grant it privileges to read tables and logs.
CREATE TABLESPACE logminer_tbs DATAFILE '/opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/logminer_tbs.dbf' SIZE 25M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;
CREATE USER logminer_user IDENTIFIED BY oracle DEFAULT TABLESPACE logminer_tbs QUOTA UNLIMITED ON logminer_tbs;

GRANT CREATE SESSION TO logminer_user;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$DATABASE to logminer_user;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOG TO logminer_user;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGFILE TO logminer_user;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGMNR_LOGS TO logminer_user;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGMNR_CONTENTS TO logminer_user;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$ARCHIVED_LOG TO logminer_user;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS TO logminer_user;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_LOGMNR TO logminer_user;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_LOGMNR_D TO logminer_user;
Oracle 11g is not supported​
GRANT LOGMINING TO logminer_user;
Grant privileges only to the tables that need to be collected​
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO logminer_user;
GRANT ANALYZE ANY TO logminer_user;

To enable Logminer in Oracle with CDB (Container Database) + PDB (Pluggable Database) mode, follow the steps below:​

  1. The operating system creates an empty file directory to store Oracle archived logs and user tablespaces.
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/oradata/recovery_area
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB1
chown -R oracle /opt/oracle/***
  1. Login as admin and enable logging
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys as sysdba; # Password: oracle
alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size = 10G;
alter system set db_recovery_file_dest = '/opt/oracle/oradata/recovery_area' scope=spfile;
shutdown immediate
startup mount
alter database archivelog;
alter database open;
archive log list;
  1. Executing in CDB
ALTER TABLE TEST.* ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (ALL) COLUMNS;
ALTER TABLE TEST.T2 ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (ALL) COLUMNS;
  1. Creating debeziume account

Source Options​

NameTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
base-urlStringYes-The URL of the JDBC connection. Refer to a case: idbc:oracle:thin:datasource01:1523:xe.
usernameStringYes-Name of the database to use when connecting to the database server.
passwordStringYes-Password to use when connecting to the database server.
database-namesListNo-Database name of the database to monitor.
schema-namesListNo-Schema name of the database to monitor.
table-namesListYes-Table name of the database to monitor. The table name needs to include the database name, for example: database_name.table_name
table-names-configListNo-Table config list. for example: [{"table": "db1.schema1.table1","primaryKeys":["key1"]}]
startup.modeEnumNoINITIALOptional startup mode for Oracle CDC consumer, valid enumerations are initial, earliest, latest and specific.
initial: Synchronize historical data at startup, and then synchronize incremental data.
earliest: Startup from the earliest offset possible.
latest: Startup from the latest offset.
specific: Startup from user-supplied specific offsets.
startup.specific-offset.fileStringNo-Start from the specified binlog file name. Note, This option is required when the startup.mode option used specific.
startup.specific-offset.posLongNo-Start from the specified binlog file position. Note, This option is required when the startup.mode option used specific.
stop.modeEnumNoNEVEROptional stop mode for Oracle CDC consumer, valid enumerations are never, latest or specific.
never: Real-time job don't stop the source.
latest: Stop from the latest offset.
specific: Stop from user-supplied specific offset.
stop.specific-offset.fileStringNo-Stop from the specified binlog file name. Note, This option is required when the stop.mode option used specific.
stop.specific-offset.posLongNo-Stop from the specified binlog file position. Note, This option is required when the stop.mode option used specific.
snapshot.split.sizeIntegerNo8096The split size (number of rows) of table snapshot, captured tables are split into multiple splits when read the snapshot of table.
snapshot.fetch.sizeIntegerNo1024The maximum fetch size for per poll when read table snapshot.
server-time-zoneStringNoUTCThe session time zone in database server. If not set, then ZoneId.systemDefault() is used to determine the server time zone.
connect.timeout.msDurationNo30000The maximum time that the connector should wait after trying to connect to the database server before timing out.
connect.max-retriesIntegerNo3The max retry times that the connector should retry to build database server connection.
connection.pool.sizeIntegerNo20The jdbc connection pool size.
chunk-key.even-distribution.factor.upper-boundDoubleNo100The upper bound of the chunk key distribution factor. This factor is used to determine whether the table data is evenly distributed. If the distribution factor is calculated to be less than or equal to this upper bound (i.e., (MAX(id) - MIN(id) + 1) / row count), the table chunks would be optimized for even distribution. Otherwise, if the distribution factor is greater, the table will be considered as unevenly distributed and the sampling-based sharding strategy will be used if the estimated shard count exceeds the value specified by sample-sharding.threshold. The default value is 100.0.
chunk-key.even-distribution.factor.lower-boundDoubleNo0.05The lower bound of the chunk key distribution factor. This factor is used to determine whether the table data is evenly distributed. If the distribution factor is calculated to be greater than or equal to this lower bound (i.e., (MAX(id) - MIN(id) + 1) / row count), the table chunks would be optimized for even distribution. Otherwise, if the distribution factor is less, the table will be considered as unevenly distributed and the sampling-based sharding strategy will be used if the estimated shard count exceeds the value specified by sample-sharding.threshold. The default value is 0.05.
sample-sharding.thresholdIntegerNo1000This configuration specifies the threshold of estimated shard count to trigger the sample sharding strategy. When the distribution factor is outside the bounds specified by chunk-key.even-distribution.factor.upper-bound and chunk-key.even-distribution.factor.lower-bound, and the estimated shard count (calculated as approximate row count / chunk size) exceeds this threshold, the sample sharding strategy will be used. This can help to handle large datasets more efficiently. The default value is 1000 shards.
inverse-sampling.rateIntegerNo1000The inverse of the sampling rate used in the sample sharding strategy. For example, if this value is set to 1000, it means a 1/1000 sampling rate is applied during the sampling process. This option provides flexibility in controlling the granularity of the sampling, thus affecting the final number of shards. It's especially useful when dealing with very large datasets where a lower sampling rate is preferred. The default value is 1000.
exactly_onceBooleanNofalseEnable exactly once semantic.
formatEnumNoDEFAULTOptional output format for Oracle CDC, valid enumerations are DEFAULT、COMPATIBLE_DEBEZIUM_JSON.
debeziumConfigNo-Pass-through Debezium's properties to Debezium Embedded Engine which is used to capture data changes from Oracle server.
