Log reader and parser sharing determination in a change data capture environment

Abstract:

Log reader and parser sharing determination in a change data capture environment includes obtaining log record identifiers for a group of data consumers of transaction log file data in transaction log files, identifying a respective restart log position and current log position for each data consumer of the group of data consumers, determining transaction log file distances between the restart log positions and the current log positions of each of one or more pairs of data consumers, calculating resource costs for data consumers of each pair to share a log reader and log parser, determining whether to share a log reader and log parser between any two or more data consumers of the group, and performing processing based on the determining whether to share.
