One of these instructor-led sessions provides “Deep Dive into Oracle GoldenGate” will be held on Thursday Oct 4^th 11:15am at Marriott Marquis - Salon ½. I expect the spots will fill out fast in this session.

Oracle GoldenGate Demos will be running Monday through Wednesday in Moscone South in both Oracle Database and Oracle Fusion Middleware sections of the Oracle demo grounds. We will be showcasing:

• Monitoring Oracle GoldenGate for End-to-End Visibility
• Oracle GoldenGate 11gR2 New Features
• Oracle GoldenGate 11gR2: Real-Time, Transactional Database Replication
• Oracle GoldenGate Veridata
• Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture

If you are not able to attend OpenWorld, you should not miss this week’s live webcast introducing Oracle GoldenGate 11g Release 2. On Wednesday the webcast will present the new features of GoldenGate and attendees will have a long, live Q&A panel session with the PM team.  I also recommend checking out the resources for GoldenGate to download new white papers.

The whole team is looking forward to sharing with you the latest and greatest features of GoldenGate at the launch webcast and at OpenWorld.
